Thank you for taking time to comment. Comments in this forum educate me (I use a consume-produce-engage model for learning. If you are interested refer this post).

Like you, I have been a consultant and an employee. I have been a consultant (contractor) at lower levels (developer) and as a CTO.

I'm not defining a future that I wish to have. I observed around and I'm just documenting what I see around. The future seems to go in this path. I'm saying, if this is the future then this is how developers should prepare for it.

Earlier consultants were not hired at the top level. Those who were called as consultants were simply contractors (who worked at one job and not really considered as experts. They were commodities). Recently, I am observing there is a need to hire at the top level because of changing business realities. They are not constrained to work only at one job.

You make a valid about with making Matrix. I differ slightly. AFTER the movie is made there is no change. But conception and production has many moving parts. Movie makers go through that change too -- script changes, actors changes and so on. Business find ways to handle those changes.

Thank you again for comment. Hope this engagement is mutually beneficial.
