As a bit of background, one of my hobbies is helping people recover data from old tape cartridges, such as QIC-80 tapes, which were a rather popular backup medium in the 1990s among individuals, small businesses, BBS operators, and the like.

The pace of software output has never been faster. AI tooling and decades of platform innovation have dramatically lowered the barrier to code creation. With just a few prompts or API calls, it is now possible to generate entire products, features, infrastructure, and functionality in hours rather than weeks. And yet, despite all this acceleration, delivery outcomes remain stubbornly poor. Too many initiatives underdeliver, budgets continue to overrun, and users are left underserved. If cheaper
