> The software of the 90s was generally janky in a way that would never be tolerated today.
Speaking as someone who grew up in the 90's, I think the software products thst are developed today lack the creativity that existed in the software developed during the 90's. Rigid development frameworks that exist today prevent "jankiness" by reducing the number of design decisions that are available to a developer, and in my opinion this has resulted in a lack of diversity in the products available to consumers.
Ironically everyone today is using Kubernetes (aka "Borg") under the hood, and this is the same weakness that the Borg had in Star Trek.
