It'd be interesting to hear more detail on your concerns here. Is it just a general feeling of lack of forward progress by the discipline/industry? In general

It'd be interesting to hear more detail on your concerns here. Is it just a general feeling of lack of forward progress by the discipline/industry? In general, the quote "history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme" speaks to me on this. Modern programming languages and OSes are slightly nicer, but at the end of the day, your odds of hitting a bug while using a program are about the same as they were in the 70s. Management still often has no clue. Etc. Nothing new under the sun.
