While I commiserate with your weariness, I have a different reaction by looking at the technology stack in layers. The lower layers do need to be stable and I believe the evolution of those layers has slowed down (for example, operating systems, network stacks, web protocols, etc.). Of course, the higher layers are still rapidly evolving (web UI, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity) but that is because as an industry we have not settled on the "winners" in those areas. So, rapid progress and trial-by-error is necessary to determine the best solutions in the higher layers of the technology stack. I think that frenzied search for the best solutions and its ensuing messiness is because "Software has eaten the World" and that the opportunities for both riches and global impact are still there. In the end, that is a good thing.
