> we’ve traded reliability and understanding for the illusion of progress.

I wish there was a somewhat rigorous way to quantify reliability of tech products so that we could conclude if tech on average was about as buggy in the past.

I mean I also feel that things are more buggy and unreliable, but I don't know if there's any good way to measure it.

This... This is quite quantifiable

I'm sure specific issues are quantifiable. But trying to quantify the overall trend seems like a challenge.
