Reads like an attention seeking rant, anecdotal and full of personal biases.

Useful as a data point of the state of mind of an technical person of some experience, a certain life journey etc. But what else to conclude?

Software clearly has changed quite a bit in the past decades, but arguably quite a bit less than hardware and probably not measurably enough to require a different mental wiring from developers.

What has changed massively is the economics of the tech industry. But that is a different story.
