I think I know what you're saying. I remember that time, around the birth of Java. But I also remember that we were trying to solve real problems that aren't such big problems anymore: modularization, dependency management, large codebases with crude editing tools, SW delivery and distribution in the age of diskettes! It turns out that developing large systems in static languages with heavily constrained libraries is difficult. Rapid zero-cost distribution and decentralized storage AND GUIs have really changed the field. Does anyone even call themselves a SW Engineer anymore?
