It’s absurd to complain about abstraction. Hardware will continue to leapfrog the pace of software innovation and things will keep getting better.
Sure layers of abstraction is leaky and has their issues, but I don’t want to write a hipster language in a hipster editor. If you enjoy that, great.
Also, it’s easy to look at the past with rose tinted glasses. Modern softwares are bloated mess but still a million times more productive.

Try running Windows 2000 on era-appropriate consumer hardware and tell me just how much better off we truly are now with bloated and unresponsive web apps. > Also, it’s easy to look at the past with rose tinted glasses. Modern softwares are bloated mess but still a million times more productive. What metrics are you using to quantify "a million times more productive"?
