I'm getting annoyed that every damn thing is turning into a web app now and JS/Chrome is even infecting desktop programs that traditionally were written in a real systems language like C or C++. The technology world feels janky and bloated now, built like a house of cards where one thing is relying on 20 other things, some of them in the cloud, to work right.

Programming these days seems to be more about glueing various services and APIs together to come up with a solution instead of actually coding it.

You're half right. There's a lot of house-of-cards junk (see left-pad) but a lot of it is also using existing frameworks as a foundation instead of reinventing the wheel. Cryptography in particular is one wheel you should not roll yourself.

I mean...

You act like people weren't using Java for serious shit... They still do for whatever reason.
