    I think we came from an “evolved form” from the 70s when everyone wore businesses suits and “planned” things meticulously.

    The lower bar of modernity may seem edge, yet dispute tooling and architecture advancements, development itself has lowered to the lowest common denominator.

    Evolved programming will either be, the environment “knows” better than you and compensates, or the developer has a more structured understanding and is clever and succinct in implementation strategy.

    I fear this as one art devolving to ease of use rather than technical sophistication.
