Software disenchantment

Everything is going to hell and nobody seems to care

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)?

    I’ve tumbled down this rabbit hole on more than one occasion.

    This line of thinking can lead you to the conclusion that the only ecologically just thing to do is for humans to cease to exist.

    It’s a trap that can lead to despair.

    Do your part to be mindful, respectful, and conservative with resources, but don’t give in to nihilism.
