Its 2026. You thinking you know more about other people's requirements in an absolutely enormous field is just plain naive and its embarrassing reading this stuff on HN.
But now we have abstractions upon abstraction, slow ands heavy solutions for almost every thing.
Software is slower than ever, not because of hardware, but because of the endless bloat and abstraction every framework brings.
No, I'm saying that I, as a single person, couldn't have any idea what the other 99% is doing and what their needs are. This field is ENORMOUS. There are hundreds of thousands of different types of problems being worked on. I don't know what complexity or requirements they're face and neither do you.
I've got 15 years and 6 jobs and I've still probably seen < 1% of the actual development work being done. And thinking that I can extrapolate form that 1% the other 99% is insane to me.
