Yeah, I feel this! There"s so much of everything -- the central challenge (of software anyway) is not actually creating something new, it"s standing out from all the noise and the thousands of others doing the exact same thing.

And increasingly all economic activity revolves around a handful of megacorps siphoning up all available money, with everyone else trying to insert themselves somehow into the siphoning process. Ideally "as a Service", ie by creating their own little siphon and attaching it onto their hos^H^H^Hcustomer.
