came in here to say the much the same. I also see much more that we get "pre glued" things that we then glue a few more things to. After 40ish years of coding, I think the amount of glue we use is about the same. It goes up and down a bit but there seems to be a natural limit to the complexity we can deal with.

Do you mean other trends like increasing use of frameworks, scaffolding tools and “convention over configuration”? If so then I agree. One of the trade-offs being made there is immediate convenience against long-term flexibility. You get more functionality out-of-the-box with these kinds of tools, but the price is that they often don’t compose well.
