> I've been saying that software engineering as an industry is in the caveman state of development.

I once bought a domain called "paleolithic-computing" (neolithic wasn't available, even though I used the stonehenge picture), to use as a blog.

We are indeed in the caveman stage. In fact, in some ways, we seem to have regressed. There is a pressure to release features faster and faster, and everyone knows you can achieve anything in a sprint, right? Then just get 'devops' to deploy.

It helps that most other (or proper) engineering disciplines have been around for far longer. We are not even comparable to egyptians building pyramids, we are still figuring out how to build huts (and rebuilding them every few years with new tech).

Give it time.
