@YourNeighbor57 @lowqualityfacts - I think people have also heavily shifted their mindset from "computers are a tool" to "computers are magic" (they aren't).
Companies have done a good job mystifying how computers work. They've come a long way, but they're not magic.
I spend a lot of time hammering into more junior engineers, that with very rare exception, we should be able to explain plainly to customers what we're doing. It shouldn't be magic and they shouldn't have to guess.
