Long story short: I worked on a software that would use CD-RWs to store personal data and do some computations. It required an internet connection, some storage, and could be use everywhere without installation.
I was young and naive, but when I bought my first smartphone (HTC in the 2000s), I said to myself "we’re doomed" because the whole company was being rendered useless in front of me. The whole thing could be replaced by a small Android application that I built for myself to learn that new stuff.
10 engineers worked on that for 5 years, and it was thrown in the trash while I rewrote the whole thing in a few weeks.
