I don't know of any other term in tech that people experience in so many different often contradictory ways that causes people to talk past each other because they're all talking about different things or been places that work so differently.

Wasn't that the original goal of DevOps? Getting dev and ops not being siloes and get them collaborating? The "make devs do ops" definition seemed to come along later.
The original goal of DevOps never happened. Companies immediately jumped on this with "rationalizations" and "integrations" to make it so fewer people were in charge of more things.
I wouldn't describe software as most people experience it as more complex.
And civil engineering projects are constantly fixing unforeseen design problems either during construction or afterwards.
I would distinguish the failure modes as different though eg analog vs digital. Real world engineering can absorb an awful lot of minor mistakes through safety factors etc. Failure can be gradual or just a matter of degree or even just interpretation of standards. Software failures are often more digital or only matter when "under attack"
I'm using 2x Dell U3011s, one I purchased around ~2013 probably and the other I got used recently for $100. My only issue with them is that they have PWM coil whine that only goes away if I crank the brightness to ~90%, which seems to produce an immense amount of heat and probably power consumption. I'd love to find a viable alternative solution for this, because these are my favorite monitors for now.
The model appears to have been released 16 years ago.
I haven't yet found a monitor that makes sense to replace them with either.
I think there is a slightly newer version of these, but I have the same set up.
I haven’t been able to find anything that has the vertical space that these monitors do. Even Ultra Wide monitors just aren’t tall enough. If I got this 52 inch behemoth that would help, but I would actually lose horizontal space.
In 2011 I would've had trouble believing there could be a trillion dollar AI company, but that if there was such a company I could almost expect they would make such an asinine statement.
