I have to reboot my phone weekly exactly because “stable” software isn’t. Even on a know platform in the absence of updates.

The only good thing is that “turning it off and back on again” works. Usually.




Honestly, that's just a sign the software on your phone isn't stable. (most modern software isn't, to be fair)


And that's the point of my post.

The parent post is asserting that code is inherently stable so long as the platform doesn't change. I disagree.


Ah, gotcha. I thought you were suggesting code could never be stable even on a stable underlying platform. Certainly it's not guaranteed.
