There is another more simpler layer to this:
Most people on HackerNews remember when they were the target demographic for most software. And they no longer are.
If you're under 40, this is how we all started. The target demographic since the explosion of the internet is no longer software engineers. That feels bad for people, and they lash out conservatively.
Because they're not wrong - the software IS worse. For them (us).
- int_19h 4y agoI could agree to it, if only I didn't know so many non-tech people who also think that tech started to go downhill at some point - and specifically complain about some of the same things, such as forced updates and dumbed-down UX that actually makes their life harder.
