I blame the various "Internet gold-rushes" for this. Dotcom bubble, Smartphone Globalization, SaaS Dark Ages (we are here).

Too much money to be made to do things thoughtfully and sustainably.



> SaaS Dark Ages (we are here).

People actually feel this way? I find web development and entrepreneurship to be as accessible and as fun as ever. So many amazing technologies within reach. I really enjoy web development now more than ever.


I think there is an obscene amount of intellectual & economic waste happening right now due to rent-seeking SaaS and draconian IP regulation, at least in the West.

You know what would be really enjoyable? If there was a dominant culture of interoperability within hardware, social media and information-sharing. What "Web3" should have been about instead of appealing to / being co-opted by wealth-hoarding, destructive ideologies, and other crimes.
