&quot;I remember what software, and the internet, used to be like 20 years ago. My user-experience, and expectations, has increased in almost every way imaginable during this time. From a 10,000 foot view, I&#x27;m extremely pleased with the way things have changed in the past 2 decades.&quot;<p>I have to agree wholeheartedly with this statement. I&#x27;m relying on software to basically help me run my life. Thanks to software, I can accomplish more than I would otherwise. (OTOH, I also take on more, which is a whole other post on making ourselves crazy by trying to do too much.)<p>Still, there is room for improvement. The problem is that no single point of failure exists. It&#x27;s a layered problem involving economic incentive, unskilled people jumping into development to shore up the shortage of labor, an immature consumer base, a dizzying array of tools, methodologies, and standards for developing software, etc.<p>At present, I don&#x27;t see any way out of the dilemma.
