I've felt for a long time that the reason software is not fulfilling its promise is because it has been tied exclusively to capitalist goals. The incentive structure is completely broken. I think a balance probably exists, but we are badly missing the mark.

Do you think that is still the case? I can think of all kinds of applications where software can contribute to non-profit driven goals. Healthcare, government, energy/climate, etc. I think the problem is it becomes hard for some to take those jobs when they could instead work in, say, social media or finance for many multiples of the pay.
