It is exactly that. We make stuff, problems arise, we make new stuff that does not suffer from said problems.

Because everything is a trade-off, new stuff creates new problems. Those are the problems complainers complain about, ignorant of their history.

The cycle then repeats.

Maybe I am not cynical enough but doing easy things from the past is completely trivial and doing unimaginable things from the past is not that hard anymore. Looks like the cycle has some forward momentum in the end!

React since 17 feels like coding with LLMs: it had a bug, they asked ChatGPT to fix it, it addes more bugs, they asked ChatGPT to fix all of them and now we have a useless piece of software completely unrelated with the initial solution

But it all suffers. We have been doing web dev for 30 years and it all works fine, fast and scalable. I am not sure what other people are so obsessed with but we don’t have these issues.
