We've been hearing this claim for years. It wasn't true then, it isn't true now.

Yeah, everything in the article seems just as true now as it always was. I think maybe what we see is it's gradually passing more and more developers' thresholds for quality. So I suppose in the end nothing changes: people who turned out shoddy code before turn out shoddy code now. The scary thing is they're doing it quicker than ever.
