Recently re-discovered this gem of a blog post, written in 2018 by Nikita Propokov, about his disenchantment with the state of modern software. Do you think it’s still relevant today (perhaps more/less so than it was when it was written)?

This has been getting to me for a while. A couple of months ago I stumbled across the gemini protocol - the extension of gopher. I haven’t done much in that space as of yet, and I’m not suggesting it’s a salve for all the problems talked about in the article here, but I have found it is somewhat of a balm for the soul. A different attitude, to the internet and to a limited extent some of the software.
Extending that mindset into even a small fraction of software development would be refreshing.
