30 years ago, I had to spend 40 hours a week working. Decades later with all the software improvements, I have to work 40 hours a week
I bet those 40 hours are more stressful than before.
Efficiency has increased,so you're probably doing a whole lot of more tasks with the same time, but the bureaucracy still exists. It's just a different kind of bureaucracy.
While we no longer need to stand in line to get a rubber stamp on a paper from some rude clerk just to pay a bill, we now need to download apps, keep the systems up to date, manage user accounts and input the data exactly how the app wants it. While the individual task might be somewhat easier than before, it is now expected that you do a whole lot more of these bureaucratic tasks yourself. All the tech bloat creeps up and makes every little task a little more difficult than before.
What, where?
That's what i was talking about, doing more with less from an enginering perspective.
