Thanks for sharing! I definitely agree. I've seen web software go downhill somewhere after 2013. It's been sad and now we have far more buggy apps and security issues on the Internet than ever before.
I used to love the 90s because it was "for nerds." The space wasn't crowded and you could actually do good work and research. So much research went into things and I feel like that died somewhere. Or is dying. You get a few good things coming out here and there, but it's masked by this "I want to be a celebrity" stuff that's going on. It started with conferences and such and has now progressed to YouTube and live streaming. That's kinda sickening to me honestly. What we have is pull in directions from the loudest voices in the room despite the fact this pull could be directly into flames.
As people try to sift through the confusion and overcrowding they tend to grab on to anything they can for refuge. Ironically they are often unaware of the dangerous situation they put themselves in.
I think cowboy coding may see a definition change.
- chasd00 8mo agopeople twisting and manipulating llms to do all sorts of unintended things reminds me of the late 90s early 2000s when everyone was twisting and manipulating html, webservers, and browsers to do all sorts of unintended things. It kind of has that feel to me, where it's something new and no one knows where it's going but i seeing a lot of "hey check this out, i put this together last night and it's kind of cool" again.
