I've been doing this for over 20 years and feel the exact opposite. The process for getting an idea turned into working software is faster, easier and better than ever. You are looking at it from the inside. All the mechanics have changed from how you were trained and now the process is no longer bottlenecked by the kind of problems you are used to solving. From a higher-level perspective, businesses are 100x smarter about how to think about digital problems and solutions, what kind of talent they need to execute and how much it costs. Nothing will stop executives from trying to squeeze budgets and timelines, but that's human nature. But now there's a chorus of experienced people who can speak the truth, who know when to build vs buy, who know what quality looks like, who know that user experience is paramount. Software development has become commoditized which sucks for developers, but it's great for software.
