Very true; she acknowledges it in the article as well.
Where? The only obvious link to github links to a tracking rbspy issue.
Nothing official from Apple on this yet?
I think High Sierra is the worst Mac OS release yet. I’m sure there’s a cognitive bias partially to blame (since it’s the most recent) but it looks like we are way past that.
I've edited 'he' to 'she' in the two otherwise fine comments that made this mistake ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16251566 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16251562 ) and grouped several empty replies and one lame off-topic subthread under this one. It's rare that we do something like this (and I've emailed the author), but it seems fairer than to penalize their original posts, which were otherwise i…

I found the style of the article to be quite refreshing somehow. The OP is not trying to look like a smartass about the discovery (a trait very common in the IT industry), and she acknowledges that she doesn't really understand what is the underlying cause. She is just happy that she discovered something and is keen on sharing it with the world.

As long as we are talking about anecdotical evidence: my MBP with High Sierra has been running fine for the last few months. I haven't encountered any issues in my day-to-day work as iOS app developer and neither in my home use. I think it's a pretty decent release, though it didn't add any new features that I feel I really need.

Qualitatively, it feels like apple’s software quality has been on a slide for several years. What attracted me to move to Mac OS in the first place some 15 years ago was the sheer quality. It was thrilling to use a computer that Just Worked, with no BSODs or the endless dependency hell that was Linux at the time. It doesn’t feel like that any more, across either OSX or iOS - it feels fragile. Things crash, behaviours…
Ubuntu still doesn't let me change my IP address to a static one via the UI and video drivers still crash or result in hours of googling and reading contradicting articles on how to change xorg.conf
Software has bugs. Operating systems are hard. It doesn't matter where you will go, you will most likely deal with similar issues. Whether it be Linux, Windows or macOS.
