      Is there a framework, language, or possibly tool today, that if you took back to someone 15 years ago, it would give them a 15 year head start or competitive advantage in building their software?

      In other words, would it be a super power to secretly have the only Swift compiler, C++17 compiler, React build, or ES2019 to ES5 transpiler, or ... Ignoring game dev for a second, I find it hard to think of something that would make me unfairly more productive than others.

      If it’s tough to think of one, then that’s good evidence that network effects for technologies are an important part of technology value. Maybe that’s your point.

      Not sure if there’s a point per se. It started with the idea that 15 years ago me might be blown away with a lot of technology today: iPhone, Oculus, iPad, Tesla, drones, etc., but I don’t know if he would be blown away with how we program today, not nearly to the same extent.

      Agreed. There was a step function around 1996 with Visual C++ and templates that enabled a dramatic bump in generality and productivity. Since then the gains have just been incremental convenience.

          @tolmasky I broadly agree with you, but I do think that instead of just how we write code, it's important to consider all the development steps through to running software/service. On those dimensions things have moved incredibly fast recently

          Oh I agree, my goal is not to downplay the ecosystem advances, devops progress, resource democratization, or even the fact that you can get a company funded easier now! My thinking is just that tooling seems to maybe have not kept up with everything else that’s gotten better.

          Why do you hate Fortnite Save The World players so much? We paid for a game mode that gets blatantly disrespected with every single update. The game still unplayable on PS4. I mean we paid $$ to play this mode and it's been unplayable for over 7 weeks now
