macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess https://www.squareorbits.com/blog/2026/09/macos-golden-gate-is-a-buggy-mess/ Software quality control has been declining for many years and now, with the rise of LLMs, nobody actually reads code anymore. If it passes automated tests, it gets shipped. Developers receive hundreds of PRs per day generated by LLMs. How can anyone review all of them? Rubber stamp it. Everyone is simply trusting what these "black box machines" say and shipping the code. Even FLOSS is not free from this mess now.

Companies are cutting corners and getting rid of experienced IT staff, devs and office bees who once enjoyed the art of building real products. Now it is all race to the bottom. Enjoy you hot garbage mess.. LOL.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social most of the article is just nitpicking with a couple of actual bugs that are very insignificant. The title is absolutely a clickbait.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social the list started with such trivial examples I thought “this can’t be too bad”, but then we turned the corner! Golden Gate feels less buggy than the previous release in my usage, but GG has one ENORMOUS bug where the lock screen refuses to show any log in UI sometimes. I have to power-cycle the machine to get in. Infuriating.
