This. The entire field of software is nowhere near mature or settled. My gut says that, in terms of software technology, the society today has progressed only %20 of the road and utilized the techology only that amount, compared to what it could be. Very few software I use I can call mature (i.e there's no meaningful room of improvement), they can be improved much more. The collective amount of work that has been put in to develop software by humanity so far not being enough means that the potential of the field is so great, maybe uncomparable to any other (e.g. think about carpentry).
