Same. The only thing I’d say in contrast is that while getting worse to manage, a lot of stuff works more often than it used to do. Now, I’ll expand and add a fourth point. Do not have so much hubris as to think that you can achieve in one year what took 40 years to build, and certainly do not think that just because you have better tooling you will be able to reimplement something better than what has already been done. The reality is that the new implementation will likely suck in comparison to the old one for many years, and it will require ceaseless and thankless effort. Prime example: Wayland (which is now really awesome btw) that took a decade or so. If, otoh, something sucks and has done for a long time, go for it. Prime example: Linux audio (OSS, Alsa, Pulse, Jack) where pipewire is a godsend.
