      Jonathan Blow makes the case that software is in decline, and been free riding on hardware improvements for a long time. “We don't expect it to work anymore.” So many great points — I'm 100% convinced. Most important talk of the year. Maybe the decade.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-SOdj4Kkk …

      Good fodder for thoughts. Although, about an hour after viewing it, I'm not quite convinced. There's a fair bit of logical leaps, and I'm not sure how many of them are due to time limits of the presentation, and how many more underlying issues.

      I think that the topic is so broad that he did a pretty decent job of just highlighting it for us. The scope is so big and there are unfortunately no clear cut answers. Agreed, it is food for all of our thoughts.

      Yeah, he did a good job of trying to lay down some theories, but there won't be a definitive proof. IMO it's compelling that we can see the results of the problem — see the 5 min mid-presentation where he goes through last few days of examples of modern software not working.

      I think there were a few logical leaps. Like OS being a portability hurdle, which seems fairly absurd (hardware abstractions turn out to be important).

          That example was an interesting one. Getting a binary to run on the same hardware, but different OSes is a problem because of a bunch of disagreements on calling conventions, symbol handling, available system calls, handling of dynamic libs. Why haven’t these been standardized?
