The Great Software Stagnation
How on earth does this post have this many upvotes? I find in nonsensical in almost every way, most importantly that the author just waves away or flat out ignores basically every major advance in software engineering of the past 25 years.<p>I mean, does he think the amazing revolution in machine learning, AI and neural networks just didn&#x27;t happen? What about the absolute tidal wave of open source projects in general? In 1996 if there wasn&#x27;t a library for some small piece of functionality you needed you either needed to pay for it (anyone remember the market for VB controls?) or build it yourself. These days usually the problem is figuring out <i>which</i> open source library is the best one for your needs.
