multi billion dollar companies are unable to make software that can be used effectively.
how it appears is that the more money a corporation has, the worse its software is.
if you want reliability, merit, the ability to use it, or even simply... features, then free and open source software is your only realistic option.

@falcennial I think the problem is that multimillion dollar companies have other purposes behind their software than customer satisfaction.
They could make good software that users love but the features that create user satisfaction compromise their other agendas. -

@98Percent @falcennial the irony is that shareholder value would be tripled if companies would actually bother to provide products that meet customers needs.

I agree. but it does not explain it all. google ads interface, their primary revenue earner, fucks itself out the door by its cookies going randomly screwy and advertisers being unable to even view their own ads in their ad manager.
by all the chatter about it it's really common. which is insane: their primary purpose is profit, yet they can't even make a functional earner.
that is not agenda-conflict-driven bad user experience. that is flat out 100% pure incompetence.

@falcennial One reason, besides the mismatched incentives others have pointed out, is even simpler: In a sufficiently large corporation, the decision making is too many degrees removed from the customer.
It’s similar to the poor decision making of retail executives who’ve never done their own shopping.

@falcennial great software is made by smart, well-motivated developers. not managers.
a small team with an ownership stake in what they are building (open source being a great way to achieve that) will run rings around an organisation that spends 30% on engineering and gives developers no reason to know or care if what they are told to build is fit for purpose
