In software engineering, languages and tooling the progress is really slow. RAD tools existed for decades, OOP and functional programming paradigms remained largely the same for a very long period of time ... incremental enhancements but not really a breakthrough.
I personally think we have not made any significant progress in 20-30 years with regards to development and the number of software developers is still growing at a rate where the majority has probably less than a year experience. So no progress can be made as the industry never matures.
The kind of optimism displayed in the article reminds me of my early years as a developer ;)
