This Rich Hickey quote from 2011 is quite relevant in 2026:

"I think we're in this world I like to call guardrail programming. Right. It's really sad. We're like, I can make change cause I have tests. Right? Who does that? Who drives their car around banging against the guardrails, saying whoa, I'm glad I've got these guardrails because I'd never make it to the show on time."
