Serious question, speaking as a Computer Science graduate and holder of multiple professional tech certifications: has anything in software gotten materially better between 2007-2026?

I don't mean faster. I don't mean more features. I mean "the planet is better now for this change".
I can't think of an example.

@c_9 it’s in the weeds (and package managers are at best neutral) but major PHP projects moving to v8 came with huge performance and memory improvements. Making hosting and running them cheaper. Lots of amazing object oriented work in there.

@auxonic Great example. Maybe I need to narrow my frustration to end-user-facing software.

@c_9 maybe also count the low power single board computers (Pi etc) if you’d told me a full Linux OS could run on a sub $100 machine powered by a USB cable in 2004 I’d have been beyond incredulous. Really opened up computing to more people/places than ever
