While I agree with the fact that there is a lot of bloat in software development (I would even say that I'm part f the problem), these slides are completely useless.

While I dont't know the solution or even if there is a solution, I know that we didn't arrive to this point by chance, and it's not because the developers are lazy or even that companies are greedy (even it could have played a role)

I want to specifically mention a point: the author mention that in 1971 you could go to your super computer and everything was instantaneous. Well it was not. Very little people had access to these computer, and they were not only carefully selected but also had to have to train for weeks or months before being allowed to use them. Now everyone can click on a button.
