-Software is manifold and ubiquitous. Despite our current focus on apps on mobile [[wp>app stores]], we point at the fact that most apps are not restricted to the user's mobile phone. Many operations require servers to take the computational load, such as [[wp>ChatGPT]], making the phone an interface to a much larger piece of hardware. Furthermore, the execution of an app relies on many dependencies, starting from the operating system. Some issues therefore do not only relate to how specific features are implemented, but also to the overarching design of a system and how certain systems interact with each other. We describe both software-internal and software-external issues. +<wrap lo>Software is manifold and ubiquitous.
