I think this article completely misses the point. “Just be better” is only useful advice to the extent that you hear “don’t ship things that you know to suck”, which, let’s face it, many of us probably have at one time or another.

In order to really prevent bugs, you need actual engineering.

This means understanding the constraints on a system, where bugs are likely to occur (perhaps not even in code your company writes - your OS can have bugs too!).

Shipping stuff that you subjectively feel is high quality is a good start, and it’s enough for a lot of industries, but it doesn’t mean “bug free”.
