I'm sure it'll be nice to look at, but I'm skeptical they can make a good story from "what if Tron entities escaped to the real world." The best it can be is something like Terminator 1 and 2.
However, that NIN soundtrack seems very promising. Trent and Atticus have been making award-winning soundtracks for over a decade, and I'm guessing they see this as a career-defining cornerstone, following the earlier soundtracks by Wendy Carlos and Daft Punk.

The Great Male Renunciation (French: Grande Renonciation masculine) is the historical phenomenon at the end of the 18th century in which wealthy men of the Western world stopped using bright colours, elaborate shapes and variety in their dress, which were left to women's clothing. Instead, men concentrated on minute differences of cut, and the quality of the plain cloth.[1]
Coined by British psychologist John Flügel in 1930, it is considered a major turning point in the history of clothing in which the men relinquished their claim to adornment and beauty.[2] Flügel asserted that men "abandoned their claim to be considered beautiful" and "henceforth aimed at being only useful".[3] The Great Renunciation encouraged the establishment of the suit's monopoly on male dress codes at the beginning of the 19th century.
That can only be proven if her middle name is "Robin."

ikr I feel really fulfilled unloading the dishwasher.
whenever I feel overwhelmed, I do some simple task, it's more centering than meditation.

Agreed, for any non-trivial bug I just start dumping text into a word file to track what I'm doing. Like: error messages, values of variables at key places, libraries used, URLs of documentation and background reading and stackoverflow pages looked at, test fixes and their effects, etc. Then if someone asks me wtf I've been doing all day I can easily show them. Also, if I have the same problem a couple months later I can remind myself.
comforting
That's the key word. The promises of greatness don't actually have to be delivered. You can be in the midst of a pandemic and/or collapsing economy. As long as you have the comforting myth.

On what basis comes the conclusion that there is no architect behind it?
That's a great point - if there are divine beings, they wouldn't necessarily build the universe using a bunch of elves or something -- better to spark a Big Bang with the right starting conditions and let everything develop from there. I think it's more correct to say that evolution and modern physical cosmology provide an explanation of how and why the universe exists without necessarily needing divine intervention.

I remember thinking this about the WW2 generation back in the 90s. The result:
I’ll go farther and say that its wrong.
Well, it's debatable but I think it comes down to defining your terms.
- "Evolution is blind" suggests no guidance at all, and as you say there is randomness, but an important part of the evolutionary process is survival and propagation which are guided by the environment. so arguably evolution is NOT blind.
- However the evolutionary process is reactive and does not involve long-term planning so you could argue that "blind" means "looking ahead, considering more than what you can immediately sense." so arguably evolution IS blind.
Either perspective agrees that there is no "Grand Architect" and/or "God's Plan" which I think is the general point being made. But it's just a little distracting.
