> We are destroying software pushing for rewrites of things that work.

And sometimes the reverse problem is what is destroying software: being unwilling to push for rewrites of things when they desperately need one. I think we may have over indexed on "never rewrite" as an industry.

> We are destroying software mistaking it for a purely engineering discipline.

And I'm also seeing this the other way: engineers are beginning to destroy non software things, because they think they can blindly apply engineering principles to everything else.
