Thanks for your blog posts. They have been really useful reads. Your list of topics is definitely intriguing.
From what I understand, around late 2000's there was a lot of roar about Mobile Apps when smart phones started becoming mainstream and a good chunk of developers switched to learning Mobile App Development. Now there are billions of apps in market and just having a new app on the store doesn't take you anywhere. Ofcourse, there are problems still which can be solved using the apps or maybe solved better than the existing apps. However it is starting to become stagnant atleast from what I see.
With the rate at which data is being generated now, there looks like an increasing need to extract meaningful information from the data being collected. There seems to be a growing rise in interest in Data Science, Machine Learning and other AI related fields. Seeing the need, numerous universities have also opened new professional graduate programs that provide students with specialization in it.
Then there is blockchain. Every other day, there seems to be a new startup attempting to use blockchain technology to solve existing problems in better way.
I am inquisitive to know your thoughts on the topic that with this fast paced industry, along side the full time jobs, what is the best way "to evolve better and faster"? Not everyone wants / can afford to go back to schools full time. Then there are MOOC's which are helpful for sure. But even if one put in efforts to learn from MOOC's and develop projects, how to approach making the switch to the new field professionally.
Since you started writing software years before I was even born, you would have seen similar trends multiple times in the past. Eager to know your thoughts.
I started writing software in 1984. Over the years I worked with many languages, technologies, and tools. I have been in leadership positions since the early 2000s, and in executive roles since 2014.
Trends change all the time. We are in the middle of the AR/VR trend now, and I expect AI to explode in the next few years. How to deal with these kinds of changes is an excellent topic, and a difficult one. I will definitely write about it!! Thank you!!!
