I recently stumbled upon “Software disenchantment,” a post by Nikita Propokov.
It called to mind Maciej Cegłowski’s post “The Website Obesity Crisis”
and several others in the same vein. Among people who write about software development, there’s a growing consensus that our apps are getting larger, slower, and more broken, in an age when hardware should enable us to write apps that are faster, smaller, and more robust than ever.
