It ends the same way it did the last time. A giant tech market crash, more market consolidation, and massive cultural change.
At this point, things move so fast that operating systems are shipped with known bugs, security flaws, and half baked ideas. They are then patched via over-the-net updates. I think this will stop. People will go back to more traditional development paradigms out of necessity. They also won’t completely trash code bases that have been patched to the point of being reliable and somewhat secure just to make a new thing no one wanted.
My only other prediction is that people will eventually be more conservative about picking tech stacks. They will want proven track records.
