Technical Enshittification at JavaLand 2025

Technical Enshittification at JavaLand 2025 TL;DR: In 2025, the tech landscape is plagued by stagnation, bloated software, broken experiences, and slow innovation. This talk explores how we got here—and what developers can do about it. Highlights: 00:00 - Ancientification Platforms like Apple and Twitter follow a familiar pattern: provide value, lock in users, then exploit them. Quality drops, bugs multiply, and users get stuck. Developer productivity suffers, and once-reliable tools now fail at basic tasks. 07:30 - Bugpocalypse Now From LastPass breaches to full airport shutdowns, the industry is in chaos. Even “modern” systems fail spectacularly—Southwest’s meltdown and apps like Sonos illustrate just how broken things are. And software updates? Mostly fluff, few fixes. 14:25 - Stalled Innovation Tech giants hype features that either never arrive or disappoint. AI chatbots abound, but they often make things worse. Meanwhile, self-driving Teslas still need supervision, and login screens get more attention than performance. 18:33 - Software Bloat App sizes are out of control, devouring memory and multiplying vulnerabilities. Lightweight alternatives like Sumatra PDF show what's possible—but most apps choose Electron and RAM-hogging inefficiency. 22:51 - Feature Confusion & Dev Time Wastage New versions kill features users love, add nonsense, and force rewrites. Devs barely code (avg. 52 mins/day), thanks to management pressure, poor org habits, and unrealistic deadlines. Productivity nosedives. 28:20 - Technical Debt Tsunami Context switching, legacy code, and AI-generated junk create a mess. Sonos failed not because of vision, but because of poor code hygiene. AI helps... until it doesn’t. PMs often build what they think users want—usually, they’re wrong. 35:13 - What Can We Actually Do? Fixing this mess requires: ✔ Writing better, smaller, maintainable code ✔ Real Agile (not just buzzwords) ✔ DevOps culture (yes, still needed in 2025) ✔ Focused, private AI tools to help—not hinder ✔ Protecting against supply chain attacks ✔ Documenting and refactoring ✔ Communicating like pros, not martyrs 42:12 - Final Thoughts It’s not just you. Enshittification is real. But developers can fight back—with better practices, realistic management, and a relentless focus on quality. 🎥 Full slides, video, and links: 👉 speaking.jbaru.ch 📱 Hashtag: #DevNexus 🐦 X / Bsky / Mastodon / LinkedIn: @jbaruch
