Ask HN: What Is the Worst Software?

5 点作者 seereadhack超过 3 年前
Somehow this question has not yet been asked here AFAIK. My phrasing is deliberately open-ended.

Spotify, for sure.<p>&quot;Oh, you removed your SD card? I better silently start re-downloading your entire library to internal storage, nevermind the fact that there is not nearly enough free space there, I&#x27;ll just crash when it fills up.&quot;<p>&quot;Oh, you rebooted your phone, and the SD card isn&#x27;t initialized yet? Let me go ahead and do all of the above.&quot;<p>&quot;Oh, you want Car Mode when you&#x27;re in a car? Sure thing, but only as long as the Bluetooth device in your car is one we&#x27;ve hardcoded.&quot;<p>&quot;Oh, you&#x27;ve never listened to one of our stupid podcasts? Must be because we haven&#x27;t rammed it down your throat hard enough. Here, let&#x27;s have them at the top of your home screen, and better yet, let&#x27;s have some with sexually inappropriate imagery and titles. We know you don&#x27;t want to see them, and we don&#x27;t care.&quot;<p>I&#x27;ve experienced lots of incompetent software, and lots of malicious software in my time, but Spotify takes the cake for being both at the same time.

Any of the M$ office apps. They only recently disabled macros from running, and it took them decades to do that, meaning a gaping security hole was unpatched from time immemorial. I imagine this was some secret &#x27;bugdoor&#x27; that was intentionally enabled by the NSA and then NSA went all blue team and decided to nuke it (after all the U$ infra got compromised by macros).

Electron if the local comments are to be believed. Also, mouse drivers that ask you for a cloud account in order to work. Soon Intel will ask for a subscription to use the cores on your CPU, so they will be strong in this ranking, I suspect.

I&#x27;ll take a shot since I&#x27;m the one asking.<p>Epic Electronic Health Records: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.forbes.com&#x2F;sites&#x2F;katiejennings&#x2F;2021&#x2F;04&#x2F;08&#x2F;billionaire-judy-faulkner-epic-systems&#x2F;?sh=6a9343b3575a" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.forbes.com&#x2F;sites&#x2F;katiejennings&#x2F;2021&#x2F;04&#x2F;08&#x2F;billio...</a>

Lots of the very worst software was on odd mainframe OSes, like Univac&#x27;s really alien operating system. It&#x27;s dead, we&#x27;ll never have the frustration of coaxing answers out of it.
