I want my software to work, consistently, repeatably, and predictably, every time. Whether it's the software that I use is for work - including embedded and real-time systems - or tools for personal use, the last thing I want is some "quirk of its soul" deciding that it feels like 1 + 1 == oranges, or thunderbird doesn't feel like showing me my email because it's too bored today.

Even the original author Ryo's rambling post on X [1] conflates the personal web (personal blogs), window manager UX, AI-generated code, commercial / enterprise software, testing, and boutique or hobby apps, concluding with a plea for a "path forward" that is already available today, while painting everything with the same brush.

Even back in the 1990's real software (e.g., I used VxWorks every day) was built for consistency, functionality, and repeatability, with strong QA, and the thing was expected to work.
