"I hate almost all software. It's unnecessary and complicated at almost every layer ... you don't understand how fucked the whole thing is," rants Ryan Dahl, the much- (and rightly-) lauded creator of Node.js. "It really, truly, is all crap. And its so much worse than anybody realizes," agrees Zack Morris, who went on to add, "The industry has backed itself into a corner and cant even see that the way forward requires thinking outside the box."Investors and managers may not realize it, but the coders who do their work are in a collective state of angry ferment. Complaints about the state of modern software engineering multiply everywhere I look. Scrum, the state-of-the-art project-management methodology, is under attack: "I can only hope that when Scrum goes down it doesnt take the whole Agile movement with it," says Robert Martin, complaining about elitism and the rise of meaningless 'Scrum Master' certifications. Pawel Brodzinski disparages software certifications from a different angle: "It seems certification evaluates people independently and is objective. Unfortunately its also pretty much useless."
