You're making my point even better. So how exactly is someone that is making a game going to get by with a serverless/op-less/shader-less/driver-less future? Is there a game developer crisis or a kernel driver developer identity crisis we are not aware of? When put that way the claim sounds even more nonsensical. So before we/anyone claim there is an identity crisis maybe the terms should be defined better since a lot of the terms the author uses are marketing gimmicks. There is a trend toward employing tools and patterns for managing distributed systems that reduces operational burden and consequently requires fewer people because the tools are handling more of what used to be handled by humans. That's great but I wouldn't call that a crisis, identity or otherwise, in fact I'd call that progress.
