Everything is going to hell and nobody seems to care

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)?

    My current project is building a (almost) 1gb Java rich client which takes around 2minites to load… while it’s merely a gui with some small client to client capabilities. The technical debt is insane, and it’s only getting worse because neither can they afford to rebuild it from scratch.
