    If you think anything in software has worked “perfectly fine for the past two decades”, you’re probably not looking closely enough.

    I exaggerate, but honestly, not much.

        Yes, popular programs behave correctly most of the time.

        But “perfectly fine for the last two decades” would imply a far lower rate of CVEs and general reliability than we actually have in modern software.
