Umm, what? This is part of "the ultimate developer experience wishlist for the average rich-country developer in 2030", not a statement expected to be universally true in 2022. I think it's wildly overoptimistic, but "check your privilege" doesn't seem like an appropriate response to optimism.
> Generally our industry is phemomenally irresponsible, there will be some life-critical service that gets built with this attitude, and no-one will realise untill some shit hits the fan - whether it's a power cut or an internet cable being cut but a digger or the AWS datacenter burning down - and then people will die.
The "average rich-country developer" doesn't build life-critical services. If someone extends the author's techniques to a domain where they're inappropriate, that's on them.

This is part of "the ultimate developer experience wishlist for the average rich-country developer in 2030", There is a newbuild going up near me where the best connection speed is ADSL. I am willing to bet my house some parts of the country won't have reliable 100mb/s by 2040.
