think of what you could accomplish with a weekend of work in 1992 and compare that to 2012 In 1992 I could bang out some really effective CUI applications in no time at all. People really hadn't transitioned to Windows at that point. Now, I have to write a web app, or a mobile app, and it takes hours upon hours to learn the ins and outs of each new API, weeks to figure out how to customize the flashy UI to what the client wants, etc. So, yeah, programmer tools have gotten vastly better, but expectations and complexity have risen faster. |

I am going to roll this into my conversations with non-tech friends. It is like the magic time saving appliances of the fifties...
