As a software developer, there is always an infinite list of stuff to do, things to build, issues to fix, etc. Why do we spend time doing other things rather than fix these annoying quirks?

In my experience, it's usually because there was something more important to do.

I don't think it's fair to criticize these decisions unless you know what was done instead.

That's true; and the post wasn't aimed specifically at devs, but more of the software dev industry as a whole (I know the title is pretty badly worded).

I think companies should start caring more about their quality and users should stop giving money to those that don't. Some of these silly bugs are pretty ridiculous and should never have happened.

I think it's entirely fair if there is no proper feedback method indicated on the erroneous page. How else am I going to do anything about it? See also the "dear-github" letter.
