I'm actually baffled by the lack of progress made given so much time and resources. There was so much optimism about microcomputers, yet so little has been accomplished.
there has been tons of progress made, just for shareholders, not users of the actual technology. SaaSification, subscriptions, weaponized feature tiers, emotional manipulation. We are living in the golden age of marketing, sales, and consumerism.
I never thought I'd see a Kotaku article posted on HN. If there was a quality bar that submissions need to meet, none of their articles would come close.
