Thanks for the kind words! And I like the comparison to thinking about replacing a browser. I think when exposed to new technological possibilities, people tend to get a pair of insanely rosy happy path goggles on, imagining the art of the possible. Like everyone saw the initial demo of ChatGPT and was like "welp, that's the end of humans doing anything ever again."

To be fair, it's a nice exercise to try to envision things as they could be. I'm a big fan of science fiction, the whole genre is built on that premise.

I believe most technologies we know today are going to be replaced. I just need to read a history book to know that. And fair enough, the rate at which that change happens today is also orders of magnitude faster.

However, unless I'm the one building the next new thing that's going to replace the old, I agree with your approach more than fretting about it trying to predict the future.

As individuals, unlike in nature, in tech we have the ability to adapt and evolve with change.
