Future developers are going to laugh off at the cheesy way we develop our mobile and tablet apps. Some of the original code had to work under onerous memory constraints, and have all manners of workarounds for various platform incompatibilities.

But do I think the enterprise software vendors and developers are clueless? No, absolutely not. Many of them have adopted agile processes and are as fast as any other developer. If you want to disrupt enterprise software, you need to disrupt the sales channel, like what Salesforce and SuccessFactors did.
