It\u2019s a weird time for software too. Take the example of audio listening. I haven\u2019t changed anything in many moons. Same Foobar, same interface since forever. Same keyboard shortcuts since Winamp 2, 17 years ago at least. \u2019bar can play absolutely anything. No new type of audio files since forever and we probably will never need new ones.<\/p>\n
Technically there\u2019s really nothing to add. the piece of code is probably as efficient and stable as possible already. It deals with absurd sizes of content, way bigger than I ever will be able to remember. They released a version 20 days ago, fixing a bunch of minor and ultra specific stuff. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n
Witnessing the actual stop of growth, iteration needs for main software \u2013audio, video, word processing- but also creative software \u2013pro audio, image processing, 3D- is an interesting time because software always has been connected to \u201cthe future of\u201d and now it\u2019s really the past. It feels like the past 10 years were like, \u201chold on, maybe we can improve those?\u201d<\/em> and now it\u2019s like \u201cOK, not really man\u201d<\/em>. Only game engines and real time-procedural-whatever still have quite some room to grow and mature.<\/p>\n Having said that, I still can see where the UI could be more unified and streamlined. Fuck floating windows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s a weird time for software too. Take the example of audio listening. I haven\u2019t changed anything in many moons.
