Software will be even more a commodity than it already is. A hundred apps that do the same thing, what's the point? Rebuilding everything in a new framework every three years, why? The money is gone, or will be very soon.

We've been automating people out of a job for decades. And now we've outfoxed ourselves.

Same feeling. It used to be something, and mean something.

Even in graphics, there are only two leading engines, with other minor follow-ups.

Everything is rehash of another rehash, and infinite recursion.

What is the point in all this if it means we can't get value from it?

Who is extracting value? Who is defining value? I am really curious and want to know this value that people keep saying.

Idk about west, but in many part of the living world, value is having access to clean water, reliable food, electricity, and health.

Apart from that, what is valuable?
