Learning Software

I keep coming back to this - because I can see, this is a skill with a future. Most other skills, have no future.

I keep saying this, but most other people (the 99 percent) have no idea what I am talking about. Like the dinosaurs, they will disappear - and leave little evidence in the fossil record. A hundred years from now (not a thousand years from now) the survivors, will find it hard to imagine they ever existed. "What kind of beings were they?"

For most people, this makes little difference - one hundred years from now, might was well be a million years from now - something they cannot comprehend. They have a short attention span - a few years in the past (maybe) and an even shorter attention span into the future - maybe six months.

I have looked into the future, however - which, in Software, is right now.

Understanding this future, is not easy - it is hard work, and only special minds can excel at it. And I am far from having this special mind.

Take a look at the explanation of Typescript in Wikipedia. This was made to be as simple as possible (given the state of the art)  - but - this art or Science, or whatever you want to call it, has advanced so rapidly, it might as be in another world - in fact, the Computer ecosystem (and that is what they actually call it).

In the past, people had to move to another part of the world, to get a job. Now, you have to move to another world. entirely.
