I disagree that it's okay to make faulty apps. I think this is a terrible trend that software is taking. Stability is faltering significantly. There is a pervasive apathy to quality.

At the root of this problem is consumer concern and education, thus it's hard to say what the long-term fix is.

I understand you... but really sometimes we should accept that the "perfect" solutions are just far far way from the person's current skills.

Suppose your friend is working on a transactional-dependent product, he has a great idea, but he doesn't know about MQs, he has no idea about them, and his app is just getting slower with the larger scaling. Should you shut him down? should you blame him for his "slow" app?

Heck no, we should simply accept the imperfectness cuz when people try to make things perfect, it will take years, and their ideas won't appear into existence.
