i think the landscape has changed quite a bit in the last 10 years, but its not clear we're in a golden age of simple, robust and composable software either. m

  The thing about Taco Bell programming is that sometimes Taco Bell increases the number of available ingredients. What was 8 in the 1970s is at least a few more now. Gorditas, for example. And once upon a time they sold zero varieties of nachos. Don't forget to set up a Red Hot Cheeto cobranding partnership if you want some more variety. Almost the entire Unix software ecosystem is simple, robust, and composable. I don't know where "golden age" comes from, though the list of existing software that has not risen to their own levels of incompetence stretches back decades.
