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.
This is true, especially with the invention of tools that just do it for you.

It’s astounding. Even the “low level” languages as so far removed from the hardware now as to be a high level abstraction.
Yeah, I am not a developer, most I can do is light WordPress 😂. But this does seem pretty apparent now.
