@baldur I also noticed that the global consciousness of a software crisis, and more generally awareness about the state of software quality, dropped significantly since the pandemic. Previously, big software failures were making the headlines, from crypto library vulnerabilities to embedded car software faults to the failure of multi million € state-funded projects in Europe. I wonder if software became so vital and ingrained in our lives that we embraced all of its quirks, or if new practices around software craft, testing, agile, safer languages and platforms, devops, etc really raised the quality bar. Fun fact: I started looking for some data, turned to the Chaos Report as you would, to realize it stopped in 2020. Also chatGPT tells me “most current failure/success statistics are still based on 2020-era data” (for what it’s worth) 😆
