Recently re-discovered this gem of a blog post, written in 2018 by Nikita Propokov, about his disenchantment with the state of modern software. Do you think it’s still relevant today (perhaps more/less so than it was when it was written)?

    Basically anything above assembly is a high level language. The article is not about making everything from scratch. It’s about thinking about what you’re doing and not just being lazy.

      I don’t think it’s about laziness, but rather about having deadlines set by management that you can only possible meet by reusing stuff as much as possible - even if you only actually need 5 % of this stuff but got to package everything of it in your application for it to work.
