@sinbad 40+ years as software/firmware developer, I think I used almost everything and still love to design SW/HW.
What ruin things is not the technology but everything that is around it especially everything that is done to make "more easy to develop", in order to allow people who doesn't even know WHAT a damn computer is, to create SW easily and fast.
The hundred "new" languages developed to hide and hide everything, to don't scare people and the run to improve "productivity".
These things are what ruined the profession, no more looking for quality, security but productivity.
Bean-counters (managers) counting how many lines one do, how long one stare the monitor, measuring and issuing new rules, etc. ... these things ruined the profession.
But I still love computers and design to solve real problems with them.
