Thoughts on priorities in software development

• So much stuff doesn't work -- bugs stop you from accomplishing your desired task
• Over time, complexity creeps in, making changes gets harder
• The focus on performance, serverless, microservices, etc. -- these increase complexity, reduce reliability
• Everyone agrees that the current status quo sucks, but we disagree on the solution: go back to how things worked in the past, or continue down the path we're on with the hope that things will improve
  • Reference "Second-guessing the modern web" and "In defense of the modern web"
