Software is a pretty incredible industry because it allows a single person (or small group) to be responsible for something that so many systems are dependent on. Pretty incredible. Look at any modern package manager and see how many packages there are that enable massive businesses and operations that are written by one person and maybe a few contributions here and there.

It's a humbling experience to see people like that.
