Coming from the framework world with its wide streets, I've learned that all the magic and convenience comes with a hidden price tag. Every new version brought extra maintenance, dependency chains, and features I never asked for but had to carry. My move to the web has been a bumpy road - acronyms, frameworks, libraries everywhere.

"Software" is actually quite a broad term, spanning everything from low-level firmware running on devices; operating systems; command-line tools that only developers use; compiled code that runs on its own; interpreted code that needs some other piece of software - or even an entire other application like a web browser! - to run it. Software takes many, many forms, and is created and executed in many different ways for many different purposes.
