@tinker so, how do we make a system that actually evolves towards efficiency?

What we have now certainly does not do that. Software definitely gets worse over time. It makes me ashamed to be a software developer, although I may aspire and work towards efficiency and simplicity, when I say "I am a software developer" I'm associating myself with all software development and that's mostly just making many tiny frustrations, dictating how things work rather than listening to anyone
