What new things are even left to discover in software? You can still use C for all the backend stuff and I don’t think all the endless stream of front end frameworks and libraries are all that innovative. I think the only tangible innovations we’ve made over the last few decades have been in infrastructure management. All heavy lifting is done by mathematics anyways.

The will to implement the stuff we learned, instead of letting dark patterns and churn for the sake of churn get the better of that :P

Well i mean, the whole idea of discovery is that you're not sure what you will discover until you do
