With inflation and pollution come ignorance and even more confusion.
To begin with, the A in the ABC of software production:
It is not about doing it right, it is about:
doing the right *thing*!!
Software is about the conceptual side and only marginally about the technicalities. About using your mind, sensibility and intelligence to provide a concrete and competitive service to people.
This is certainly clear to customers: information technology is a wonderful instrument, yet an enabler and never a driver. This is too seldom clear to present day software professionals, who should realise the matter in question remains predominantly conceptual even at the lowest levels.
The rest is the usual gadgets for grown-up kids. Post the 90's, software engineering is dead, killed by the invasion of incompetence in a huge market of marketers. For instance, most of the latest generation of professionals in this field have never ever encountered *analysis*: and, no analysis implies no quality, period. While most of the managers, as well as the divulgators, the opinion leaders, and overall the big companies, not only do not have a clue, they actually make every effort so that this, and in fact all that may be related to any process of intelligence and learning, will never happen. The whole situation is simply and deeply compromised. Just as everything else nowadays -- everything coming from this side of the planet, that is. Corruption has broken down empires across history, sometimes rigidity, but noone ever guessed an empire of sacred mass stupidity devoted to self-destruction could be near to unbeatable. In fact, just everything is sucking more and more.
