The article was a trip down the memory lane. Cannot believe how quickly a decade has passed since the debut of the first-gen iPhone and subsequent launch of the App store. I still have faint memories of watching a recap of the launch event keynote by Mr. Jobs on a local news channel (though my preteen brain didn't grasp its significance), while being completely oblivious (not that I was unique) to the revolution it was about to unleash in the lives of MILLIONS of developers in every nook and cranny of the planet -- with Google following suit, of course. Think of the innumerable industries that have been born, millions (billions?) of lives that have been changed, trillions of dollars of value generated, all as a result of this tectonic shift in software distribution.
