    Actually it perfectly possible to write software with very few bugs. However, no one really wants to spend that amount of money and time required. I know, I've done it. It took 18 years to find the first bug in some embedded software used in the medical industry and it was a simple copy/paste bug.

    But as a country we no longer respect quality and are quite happy to, for example, buy a new lawn mower every 5 years instead of buying one that will last 20 years. In software, we now expect a new release every quarter or more or somehow its defective. How retarded.
