   Here's my constant question:

   Everyone's going so fast that they keep hitting walls. Review, CI, product asking for things, whatever.

   Why have we not seen an improvements in products?

   While every post and thread feels like a 90's wall street office, the new android and iphone ship with fewer features than usual. No indie guys come up with a linux-sized alternative OS. Switch 2 remains unhacked. Windows takes 3 seconds to show the right click menu.

   Is everyone just running full speed in circles or something?

      Why do you assume "we not seen an improvements in products"? Who is "we"? Have you done an exhaustive (or even half-assed) analysis or is this just your "vibe"?

         Have you? As in, can you name products you use daily that have been transformed night and day?

         I am not talking about the existence of minor improvement, mind you. I am denying the existence of anything that is minimally consistent with the level of discourse that surrounds development itself (throwing away practices, checks and balances, hitting constant roadblocks due to the new speed, etc).

         A true 100x requires no analysis. If we could suddenly build and improve houses at 100x I would know because I would be typing this from my 5th living room.
