I enjoy the craft aspect of software development, trading off between various factors to make maintainable, efficient code.

I've recently joined a project in a language (to be left nameless) with limited abstraction, and thus limited means to perform these trade offs, with the result being noisy code.

My interest has consequently waned.

lv is citing an Asimov quotation on Newton's actual motivations, not the motivations Newton plausibly had or you think Newton had.

Trying to infer the motivation from the result is exactly what aakilfernandes's quotation is referring to!

(Whether Asimov had done his research on this is another matter.)

Global communication in amateur radio was previously only been possible using high power transmissions (which requires a full license).

FT8 makes global communication achievable for beginner amateur radio folk.

Some amateur radio practitioners think if you want global communications without learning radio theory, use your ISP or SIM provider.
