Replying to nobody

That there are way more developers than there are developers who actually understand how software works. That software has become an inverted pyramid growing ever smaller at the lower layers close to the hardware, and ever larger at the top.

This leads to system instability, poor performance, and a general stifling of innovation. Computers have not substantially changed in 50 years. It’s just layers upon layers of code, some of which very few people even understand anymore.

Low level engineers are the oil in (energy) the system. Neglecting low level is akin to underestimating. Its mistake to take energy independence for granted. The thing stops without it
