"Seems like the really talented people have left software engineering. Like as a collective software engineers have lost their culture and everything is too complex to grasp so we build complexity on top of a misunderstood base, and everything falls apart"
@ryb just some commentary. I think in general the field has expanded vastly, just a lot more % and total devs, and that has mostly extended the field toward less capable devs. Like video games and beer, it's just expanded a lot.
