Can't wait to sell my artisinal hand-crafted software at the farmer's market.

Humor aside, long-handed programming is losing its ability to compete in an open market. Automate or be left behind. This will become increasingly true of many fields, not just software.

Is it though? Really? I'm still waiting for even one of my vendors, commercial or open source, to actually speed up their release cadence.

VS Code Insiders is releasing 3 times a day.

Used to be at most once.

That's actually a great point: judging by the dev team's commits at work there's an unprecedented amount of code being committed but it's not actually making it into releases any faster. Maybe the same thing is happening at my various vendors, but then that kind of argues against the idea that Everything Has Just Changed.
