I think it will eventually settle down once people have tried all the ideas and the needs of programmers have stabilized. Kind of like how bolt threads were eventually standardized after decades of everyone doing their own thing. First comes the end of progress, then comes stability. We already have that with some computer things like basic Linux commands or HTML.
You can always stop now if you want. Download the versions of everything you need and never change. But you'll miss out on the cool new hotness that you're wanting everyone else to miss out on if they stop changing too.
- lokedhs 7y agoI would believe you if it wasn't for the fact that most things being invented in software today are new. The industry keeps reinventing things that people did in the 60's without even doing it properly. Why doesn't any recent programming languages implement a proper condition system for example? It's not like working implementations hasn't been around for decades. This industry has a severe case of inability to learn from history so I strongly doubt we'll see things settle down in the near future.
