I agree that there is a clear upwards trajectory for improvements. When I was a teenager in 1964, I had access to a teletype hooked up to a remote server on the east coast that supported BASIC. I used punched cards at my first real job, although they later bought me a Xerox 1108 Lisp Machine. After the Lisp Machine I felt like things sort of went down hill. I love git compared to cvs and svn. I don’t like using Jira unless there is someone dedicated and skilled at relieving developers of some of the Agile cruft. I love cloud platforms like GCP, AWS, and Azure. I like continuous integration, Kubernetes, etc., if someone else sets everything up (+1000 for having skilled dev ops people on a team).
