In a few months, I'm doing a talk about how computing has lots its way, and I'm looking for input.

What irks you about working with computers (be it laptops / desktops / smartphones / ...) today?

For example: "every software is a subscription now, and we own nothing."

@jbaert everything seems to be a start-up businessplan focused on 10X growth and an exit strategy. Tools that have been well-maintained and stable for more than a decade are 'uncool' and 'old'. As digital infrastructure becomes more fundamental to society, we need to focus more on software that is designed to run and be maintained for decades. Not whatever the latest fad is that profit-driven vendors shove our way.
