The tolerance for indeterminacy is I think a generational marker; people ~20 years younger than me just kind of think of all software as indeterminate to begin with (because it's always been ridiculously complicated and event-driven for them), and it makes talking about this difficult.

I shudder to think of how many layers of dependency we will one day sit upon. But when you think about it, aren’t biological systems kind of like this too? Fallible, indeterminable, massive, labyrinthine, and capable of immensely complex and awe inspiring things at the same time…

People younger than me are not even adults. I grew up during the dial up era and then the transition to broadband. I don't think software is indeterminate.
