> I feel like I am building everything on a foundation of sand at it will need to be rebuilt every 5 years, 10 if you're lucky. This is exactly how I feel. I'm hoping at some point, the amount of churn will decrease, the community will figure out what problems it actually needs to solve, and come up with standardizedish practices for this. Obviously not all software can fit into this mold, but a lot of it probably can. To do that I think an important part is it "move fast and break things" to figure out what works and doesn't work in practice (in practice including how to actually manage people to build your software). I do think for that to happen we need to retain more knowledge between generations, I see a lot of rediscovery and reinvention of the wheel.
