Many things are getting simpler from my perspective. Not so long ago
I had to fiddle with many jumpers before I insert a CPU into
motherboard, to select right voltage, clock speed, multiplier and
similar procedure had to be done with RAM also. Nowadays it is all
automated, just plug in CPU and you're all set, no jumpers, no DIP
switches, easy.
I've seen meters of SCSI and IDE cables that were making a puzzle
for engineers to connect them all and make them so they won't
interfere with cooling by restricting the airflow inside computer
case. Now its all slim and compatible SATA\SAS cables with safe
connectors, so you don't have to worry about bending or breaking
pins on the motherboard or external storage adapter.
I've seen gigantic ISA-VLB slots die and a new, compact AGP slots
born. They were made with a flaw, so you had to think about graphic
card design before you place it into one, otherwise card would be
electrically damaged. Nowadays we have PCI-Express slots designed to
be compatible with all PCI-Express devices, be it small x1 network
controller or full x16 graphics card.
I could go on and on, but there is at least one thing that bothers
me. It's the WebDev and all those _javascript_\Ruby\Python frameworks
and their package managers, that are changing and switch every hot
damn month! Nobody can't agree on any standard about them. They are
the pure evil, I tell you!
