Take a good idea out of its infancy, let it age without guidance so it does not mature, and it generally goes bad. If GML was an infant, SGML is the bright youngster far exceeds expectations and made its parents too proud, but XML is the drug-addicted gang member who had committed his first murder before he had sex, which was rape.

My spouse “understands”
All I need is one startup to “hit” and then I can slow down or retire
I’ll make it up by spending “quality time” with my wife/kids

So today, let’s write a program simply. But let’s also realize that tomorrow, we’re going to make it more complex, because tomorrow it’s going to do more. So we’ll take that simplicity and we’ll lose some of it. But tomorrow, hopefully tomorrow’s program is as simple as possible for tomorrow’s needs. Hopefully we’ll preserve simplicity as the program grows.

There are two major kinds of poor in this world: people inherently incapable of generating value for others, and people who are KEPT from making any money by oppressive systems that don’t serve their interests. You don’t have to be a Marxist to see that this second problem is a major issue for everybody now.
