It seems like sometime around the late 2000s we literally gave up on the idea of composability as a profession.

Is it possible nowadays to write a simple calculator function and ensure that nobody will ever need to care again for the rest of the century? Making software stable (including for example the web spec) would go a long way improving efficiency.
