Except we’re really not. Tools like container registries, software dependencies on remote repos, and cheap infrastructure have brought the fast half-baked iteration to systems programming, desktop apps, etc.
Well I should say some push back. I mean I have been complaining ( or ranting ) about it since ~2005ish and I would only get downvoted into oblivion in nearly all major forums, with little to zero comment ever agreeing. At least now we see some agreement with that on HN. So that sentiment is growing somewhat, no matter how small it is. It then takes more time until a large enough force to recognise it as a problem, and even more time for people to actually do something about it.
