Code isn't crap. But developers haven't gotten a whiff of better. We still build in a trashform useless protoform, haven't explored into what might actually help. The platforms & systems we build upon have not significantly improved in noticeable ways. And most critically, there are zero innovations we work with that have included users. All software improvements have targetted developers, development experience, and at no point have we tried to bring a wider world onboard (XOPC being perhaps the only notable exception the last decades). Software is fallen and trash. Code is fine, and good, and noble, but none of these developers have any chance of building a single solitary lone good thing: for all that we build upon is shaky burning platforms of no merit or worth. Software is shit. We are shit, just trash people. We have been whipped into building solutions, fixed un-soft coercive services, into building complete & totalizing things. This is bass-ackwards, wrong: anti-soft. What's actually important is building extropic systems, is sharing what's happening, is making basic soft systems. We've fallen away from the soft in software. Everything is wrong, we fail to serve the "soft"ware cause, we are misaligned to help the world, and we could do much better. Alas. We could pivot on a dime. We could decide to start unlocking potential, not gating it, at any time. I view work's like Karlicoss's exploration of all their systems[1] as a starting place, as what software ought do by default, ought assist this species with. But they fight to help advance an equitable basis: against countless resistive piece of shit systems. This should be expectable.
