Software engineer Baldur Bjarnason believes in something called the software crisis: a problem plaguing modern software engineering that needs desperate fixes.
Things like:
- Frequent new frameworks and libraries being released.
- A culture of layoffs during times of economic trouble.
- Innovations that seem questionable to bet all your resources on (artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cryptocurrency).
