Developing in a Decade
summary
Prediction: which language or framework matters far less than purpose. The concrete claim is that automation and information are replacing jobs faster than new ones appear — a cited MIT study — with visible examples: 7,000 iPads used to replace waitstaff, Amazon delivery drones, Google self‑driving cars. Working solutions that help people already exist: Khan Academy, SMS fresh‑food ordering in India, Sahana disaster management and iPad apps for speech disabilities. The recommendation is simple: ask why before building.
