I agree 100% - this is my biggest gripe about technology... especially when indignant green horns call us old timer because we like things that are tried and true... that in short simply work. I think software has bloated significantly with little real benefit... except needing faster and faster machines to read email... Code might be an Art. Machine creation might be an art form. Taking an existing machine and making it do miracles with smart code? Artform! Starting over from scratch in every technology that comes out for software development? Crazy. Taking lean and mature programming languages and making existing machines scream? Priceless! Know way too many languages... master of none!
