Even if the topic was web applications (that are where Big Complexity thrives), 2015 was about peak complexity. Things have improved a bit since then.

The problem isn't that AI is doing something new, we all know that it isn't. The problem is that the boss' nephew is becoming the rule now rather than the exception.
