How i envy you forum behemoths, being there from the start.
Where did it all go wrong....
Well i'll tell you (i do love philosophical discussions)
It went wrong when marketing become blunt lying.
When sales became unrealistic.
When folks started studying something cause of
hype not of interest/talent.
Above cause dramatic quality drop, due to hyperproduction of code and components.
Everything needs to be done now - less error handling, run faster - security often comes last (spectre, meltdown, bad coding practice).
Just reading the press :
BA lost 400k of user credentials due to hacking
Airports unable to check in passengers due to software bugs
BSOD on aircraft carriers
21st Gatwick airport problems :
