It’s problems like this that make me wonder what high level leaders do anymore. Do they not use technology? Infinite tolerance for bugs? How is it someone with authority does not make it a mandate to file down some of these regular annoyances in everyday software.

Everyone has gotten so used to software being extremely shitty and hostile that they just think this is how it is. People work around the jank sometimes hundreds of times a day and don't look at the big picture.

I know at work I get work around windows taskbar jank at least a few dozens times a day. Granted, I can't do anything about it.

That’s the thing, if you are in charge of Teams, YouTube, Spotify, the Windows taskbar, whatever - you have the power! Surely you must be encountering the same annoyances that enrage the rest of us. Why not tell the team to fix the things that bother you? Set the agenda and improve your own life!

Instead, seemingly trivial bugs exist in huge software products for years. It somehow feels like the people in charge actively avoid dog fooding their own products.

Because they are too busy coming up with new “features” that nobody needs or wants so they can talk about delivering value in a yearly review.

Fixing broken UX is not a priority at Apple any more. They stopped enforcing HIGs for 3rd party apps a long time ago, and their own apps violate many principles that used to matter. Music app on iOS is a great example of slop UI.
