Brilliant explanation by Sussman onwhy he stoped delivering his famous SICP course at MIT. Clear view on difference of software development 20 years ago (analysis-by-synthesis) and software today (poking gigantic libraries).
I do thing that today there is space for programming large systems bottom-up, using abstraction.
What happened to software? Why is there so few creative software (2010)? Are we at the end of software? What are the forces which led to this situation, looking like a bit step backward to the epoch of non-programmable accounting machines? Is there a way out of this situation? Yes, and a very simple one: make good software. With invention. Developing models and abstractions. It is difficult but absolutely possible. It this re-start of software I wish to explore here in this blog. Welcome
