There is no software crisis. I have worked on software for 30+ years and it is as easy/hard to write and maintain software today as it was 30+ years ago.

And we are creating software today that would absolutely blow the minds of software developers working 30+ years ago. Mostly because we have amazing abstractions that makes it possible to stand on the shoulders of giants.

All that is happening is that as we get better at writing software, we and our users demand more of it. So we will always be at the breading edge of not being able to deliver. But we still do. Every day.
