A call for more ambitious software
Original: We should be more ambitious with the software we build
A new essay argues that the software industry has become too conservative, settling for incremental improvements rather than building genuinely transformative tools. The author contends that limitations once used to justify caution no longer apply, and that developers should aim for more ambitious systems. The piece is prompting debate among developers about whether modern software really lacks vision or whether ambition is already limited by practical constraints.
Why now: The essay challenges prevailing assumptions in the developer community about what software should attempt, sparking discussion.
