It’s just longing and nostalgia for a bygone era. Oh, how perfect software was when the sages of yore imparted them to us. But we turned away from their wisdom and left the Garden of Eden. I think we have it pretty good. We continue to build and the stuff that isn’t good, gets rebuilt. That’s fine. What’s important is that we have the means to build good, lasting software if we choose to prioritise it. We have languages and tools that the ancients did not have.
