> Programming a sfx card was way easier compared to nowadays.

This. Replace "sfx card" with almost anything except new ones. The list would include: ios/android app, web site, etc. There's a feeling that we keep stacking an unneeded complexity in layers.



> There's a feeling

A feeling? ... Ever since the OOP nonsense started decades ago, adding more and more bureaucracy to programming has been the norm. Nowadays we live in a world where programmers suck, because they've never learned to actually program the computer! Instead they've learned how to use programming languages, aka dealing with all the unnecessary bullshit I call bureaucracy!

Once you start piling Bureaucracy onto something , more and more will get stacked on top of it.
