Pretty well thought out. That is the state of most software and OS today, everyone has gotta eat, and usually it's not ramen that's on the menu, it's a filet and caviar.

I believe that is one of the biggest differences in the generations past, and those from say the boomers forward.

Everything was made with the intent of how do I make this thing so I can use this thing.. if you read things from K&R or even RMS, it was about doing the thing.

While people today design apps and applications with no long term intent, the idea is to sell it to Google or someone, make a billion gillion dollars and then do something else.

That's why when I hear developers use buzz words like security or inclusion, they're usually not thoughtful.

The future doesn't require perfection, it simply requires mass adoption. If everyone standardizes on something then its the future. Or at least for the foreseeable future.

    They only know "standard" programming languages and the older paradigms most of the times though.

    But they have a lot of whiz kids, i know firsthand.

    That'll work hard to get you, what you need.
