I'm overly optimistic in the next few decades of software development. During the 2000s, my teachers were arguing that we'd be using modular code blocks to create giant complex thinking programs by slotting them in like legos. Yet here I am, being paid a lot of money to make buttons look pretty.
I think in 50 years, when we have Universal Basic Income - that's when I think software developers will start to fade away. Hopefully by that point, we do have lego-esque code formatting and software development isn't about pouring through millions of lines of text, but moving blocks around. And now that I say that, I think that's the future my 2000s teachers were thinking when they were programming in the 70s-80s.
Until then, being a developer is amazing I love every bit of my work.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
