20 years ago (or more like 30-40), software actually did something for the user and wasn't just a ZIRP hack to make billions courtesy of Google and friends. Once the money became the entire point, once line go up, you just need to be able to fog a mirror long enough to get acquired. The number of supposedly senior developers who send me screenshots of stack traces they haven't even read makes me want to day drink heavily. I'm thinking of starting a bakery.
