   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?

      AI doesn't fix bad ideas. As computer industry has become the cash cow for erstwhile bankers and stockmarket brokers, expect decline of general software and rise of a small niche (zig is a recent example but also suckless / plan 9 crowd, gentoo linux, some parts of FP / PLT crowd) which try to preserve their own little world despite economic incentives to do otherwise.
