Just finished reading Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution, and if we could travel back and show the original hackers at MIT things we use in 2020 like systemd, electron etc. I think they would be in complete disbelief over the amount of bloat, and ask us why we stopped caring and started to accept software design like that.
