This is satire

Replace science with software development and this just reads like half of HN right now.

My thought process in engaging with the post was:

Reading the title: I hope this is a joke.

First paragraph in: Oh, good, it is a joke.

75% through: Ok, this is a great bit of satire, but this reads uncomfortably like many of the non-joke discussions I've seen around software development over the past year.

despite being satire this is no joke, this is what we are headed into if we dont stop the decline.

I think that's what the satire is trying to warn against.
