Actually I really appreciate someone collecting collective stupidity in one place. I am constantly frustrated by terrible design and product decisions every day (both at work and in general) that I can't do anything about. Maybe shame will work.

What makes me sad is that it seems like us who appreciate & demand good quality, no-nonsense software seem to be a minority, and the masses don't seem to care. I've noticed most non-tech people just accept their fate, either they've already came to terms with the idea that "tech sucks and will always suck", or they legitimately don't know how the experience can be improved (a lot of things may look absurd to us as developers, but might not to someone not familiar with how those things are built) or that they think software is delivered by gods or equivalent superior entities and that they, the "peasants" have no way to call for change even though voicing discontent in feedback sometimes works and is at least worth a try.
A lot of people in tech enjoy being the "ultimate power user" and are proud of using things that look or feel complicated.
You just have to look at HN itself to read trough rationalisations of why software is bloated and why bigger software is probably better. It's never driven by data or by facts, it's purely by anecdotal experience.
You're all sheep.
