I’m curious how software can be created and evolve over time. I’m afraid that at some point, we’ll realize there are issues with the software we’re using that can only be remedied by massive changes or a complete rewrite.

Are there any instances of this happening? Where something is designed with a flaw that doesn’t get realized until much later, necessitating scrapping the whole thing and starting from scratch?

      My most recent issue with Bluez is that it’s been very inconsistent about letting me disable auto-switching to HSP/HFP (headset mode) when joining any sort of call.

      It’s working now, but it feels like every few months I need to try a different solution.

        We have clearly had different experiences. If you are a developer maybe troubleshoot and file an issue.
