I feel like this got better for developers, and much worse for end users. Containers and Infrastructure as Code brought quite some sanity for myself, and even the beast that is Kubernetes is optional and has alternatives. Clouds are complicated but mostly work, and are certainly more reliable than most in-house solutions. Language safety is now a big talking point. But the end users got screwed. We forgot about consent, from "yes/maybe later" options, to obligatory apps, and shrinking features. Then offline applications became unfashionable, and now every action takes two seconds. The final nail is suicidal monetization, like seemingly every game publisher, Google Maps, Twitter, and recently Reddit. I found https://handmade.network/ https://handmade.network/ a breath of fresh air, but so far it's been too little, too late. Here's to the next 12 years.
