> so fast that we get to reimplement the same thing, but 10x better every 5 years or so. Citation needed. Seems that it just us getting more and more abstracted which can make it easier but not necessarily easier. The hardest part for the next gen of developers is not having Moore's law to save them from crappy coding.

Right, I worked on a async non-blocking project in C++ in the 90s. It was a lot simpler than any modern project, no cloud, no yaml, no containers, no fancy security. Sure it didn't have a pretty web interface but was great software.

10x worse is how I'd put it. First example that comes to mind: Microsoft Teams.

  Teams is special. You could've cited Slack or Discord. Teams is an anomaly in horrible software quality that *only* Microsoft can manage to produce (also see OneNote (but DON'T see VS Code -- that's somehow really efficient despite being Electron!)).
