Definitely. Honestly, I'd be excited if hardware stopped progressing. Ever-better hardware and ever-shifting platforms cover up a multitude of organizational sins. There's much less incentive to write good code given the rate at which code gets thrown out, and given what people are willing to spend on their AWS bills before asking if something could perhaps be improved.

Yep, agreed. But to be fair, hardware will stop progressing pretty soon IMO. PCIe 4.0 backbone is quite strong and a lot of companies, when buying workstations or servers based on it, won't move on from it for quite a while. Or so I hope.
