6. Conclusion
The target post’s assertion that “reliably bad is better than unreliable” captures a pragmatic ethos that resonates deeply with both “worse is better” and “the bitter lesson.” All three ideas underscore the value of predictability, simplicity, and scalability over short-term perfection or superficial enhancements. Whether in design (target post), software engineering (“worse is better”), or AI development (“the bitter lesson”), the lesson is clear: a stable, predictable foundation—no matter how flawed—enables long-term progress, while unreliable or overly complex solutions, even if they seem “better” at first, ultimately falter.
