What I mean is mostly - before everyone almost had their own platform and style. Now everything is so streamlined

  I am not sure I follow. Do you have an example? I could say "Everyone is a consumer on $big_tech_social_media_site" and that is simply not true. "Everything" is not streamlined. Standards certainly help. There are a lot of problems that are solved, thankfully. There are other areas to explore and maybe even work on. I have lots of questions. I learn new things everyday. Today I learned the term overton window perhaps apt for this conversation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window

    if you went to any software forum some years ago, most people hosted their own servers or did their own projects just for the sake of it. Now it's a lot of making some project to get into company A or solving some leetcode problems. Or learning AWS/Heroku/Azure or taking the certificates to getting more employable On the other hand I had friends in like 2005 running their own clusters of Sun Sparc servers just for fun and try it out. This type of nerdiness I didn't see in a while
