The Ephemeral Nature of Software Development

Software development is frustrating due to its perpetual evolution and lack of finality. Unlike physical products or creative works, software constantly evolves with changing technologies, making it an ephemeral art form. It is challenging to revisit past software experiences and understand their original state. The inability to replicate or preserve software from the past contrasts with other forms of creation where the finished product remains as a tangible artifact of the creator's vision.
