you've lost me here.
Caring and attention to quality have always been in short supply. Or supply _and_ demand when I think of some of the startups I've worked for.
Of course it's absurd to claim "every line was written with care" but there really has been a radical transformation in how people engage with the craft and the kind of work they produce as a result.
And the current way is quite hapless in comparsion, even while it enables more people to participate and even if the end products have capabiltiies that people couldn't even consider a few decades ago. As an industry, we make wild stuff now and that's impressive. But as a craft, we're in a very dark place that's looking even dimmer with the arrival of generative coding assistants and bots.
