Rebuild the World!

Software generally sucks. Computers suck. Smartphones suck. Everything related to so-called information technologies sucks.

We professional programmers clearly see all the tech constantly degrading over at least a quarter of a century, with overall stupidity continually growing up. The stupidest things become standards de-facto; horribly idiotic things are voted for by irresponsible committees to become standards de jure. Newer versions of everything are almost always worse than what we had before: this is true for equipment, this is true for software, this is true for technologies, this is true for standards.
