Listen to 90s Alan Kay lecture on software instead, esp where he compares MSFT Word to the Enpire State Building, Roman viaducts, and the Akashi Kaikyo bridge then speculates on why SW engineering can't advance, due to ineptitude of business managers. Compare Kay's observations with this article's note that Elon Musk bragged about DOGE solving business' 6-decade-in-the-making COBOL malaise in a couple months with AI, which project has disappeared down the hole of Hyperloop.
