So where is all that new software? My laptop and phone run essentially the same software as 2 or 3 years ago. Yes there were some minor updates to some apps, but nothing faster than in the years prior.

Where does all that supposed productivity go?

Number of git pushes in GH is way up. 320M in Q1 this year vs 80M in Q1 or 2020.

Just because you haven't installed new software doesn't mean that new software doesn't exist.

But also, having significantly more code churn doesn’t necessarily mean there is more or better software.

In fact, having more churn can lead to worse software due to diverging patterns and inconsistency

The question was "where is all that new software?".

		I see somebody asking "where is that great software", but I think it's obvious to everyone that there is more (mostly bad) software.
