Software development as a process is a mirror of the general trend in software itself to use more and more resources for no particular reason except developer laziness and that it increases velocity and feature churn (which software users hate). All incentivised because pointless complexity and thrashing around using 200 things you don't need gets you promotions / job security / tech talk slots

I propose that we already solved most of the challenges in software development years ago and now a lot of people are looking for ways to make it appear more complicated because it makes them look busy & important which is required to hold down a job in a basically stupid industry which is running out of actually useful things to make. LLMs just turbo charge that
