Crazy reply to read here on hackernews where we're discussing innovations every single day. We are in the middle of a software development golden age and the amount of innovation happening is absolutely absurd.

Just because you haven't found some new gizmo to make your life easier in the past 5 years doesn't mean our entire society has stagnated.

Just because you think making webapps is milking the internet doesn't mean that software is trivial or can't be a force for good, a force for change, a force for innovation, or a force for making peoples lives better. Like why are you even here?

When I think about 5 years ago, I think basically 0 electric cars being sold. I think basically 0 electric charging network. I think basically 0 grid scale solar panel build out. 0 compared to today, at least. We are in the midst of the electric car revolution, the petrochemical refilling grid is being deprecated IN REAL TIME all around us, cars are having AI models updated OTA to achieve lv3 or 4 driver assistance or even to drive themselves.

Where's the innovation?? Open your eyes!!
