As we come into 2020, I am now pretty sure I picked the wrong career. If I had known what computers were going to become, I probably wouldn't have wanted to be a programmer. It is definitely no longer a career for people who take pride in their work.

And really, the IKEA analogy isn't even complete. It's much worse than just having to build a chair on top of IKEA-quality legs. It is more like if IKEA had the ability to come put on _even worse_ legs any time they wanted, so you didn't even know how bad the chair might get!

Maybe when you build the chair you were able to work around the super shitty legs, but then IKEA goes and "updates" the chair legs to be even shittier, or to just not be there at all, and then your poor customer tries to sit down one day and suddenly falls on the floor.

I agree that things sometimes seem less reliable... but, I know you remember the way things used to be. Yes, things are often broken, but they DO a whole lot more now than they used to. Things have steadily gotten better, I am sure.
