   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?

      The new iOS has actually increased the quality for the first time in years. There are open source projects now that tackle problems nobody has before.

      It’s not night and day (as you’d expect from the hype), but I see some differences.

         In what ways? When did previous releases stop meeting your criteria?

            Ages ago. It was really noticeable when they prioritized features over quality.

            HN is full of them. I don’t have great have specific example at the top of my head, but lots of hard reverse engineering/low level projects credit AI and that they would never have happened without it these days.
