I completely relate. I see the whole programming scene today as a cynic. My first computer was a Commodore, but I wish I'd been a programmer in the 80s rather than a kid. At least back then it wasn't cool. The software industry is very trendy and it's amazing how people can be smart enough to program but don't care about simplicity, it's almost as if being smart-enough leads to boredom which leads to technical churn. Which is why there's so little technical innovation. The worst kind are those who think technical innovation moves at a fast pace because of their startup's efforts, rather than the glacial pace it does in reality.
