The Next Decade of Software Development
summary
Cloud becomes a utility, compute keeps exploding until Moore's Law ends and architectures shift to ARM/M1-style efficiency; consumer devices range from 4 billion smartphones to an iPad 2 at 1.9 GFLOPS versus an RTX 4090 at ~82 TFLOPS, and Fugaku runs ~415 PFLOPS. Web continues to dominate with PWAs and WebAssembly (Blazor), enterprise low-code like Power Apps integrates into CI/CD, containers demand precise manifests, AI brings useful tools like form recognizer and Copilot, and quantum progress (e.g. 53‑qubit Sycamore) targets chemistry problems like low‑energy fertilizer.
