We’re just trading speculation here but I think the boom and the bubble aren’t quite that relevant once you just look at the profession and not the way it’s been funded by VC. The field, the industry, the profession… whatever you call it… it’s not even a century old. Cooking, metal work, civil engineering, architecture, etc. etc. go back millennia and transcend civilisations. Humanity has had a hell of a lot of time to get good at those things, each culture throughout history discovering and refining its own methods until now, where we see them fused together in a globally connected world. Software is not even a century old. We are still in the birth of a new industry, everything is rapidly growing and evolving, and we don’t have any historical context to rely upon except perhaps mathematics. We might have hit our limit on CPU architecture and how we write software, as far as we know we’re the first to reach this point. But the next generations, the next civilisations, can take our primitive work and discover something we couldn’t. It’s only going to become more important as time goes on. We all just got in early, in the middle of the chaos. We’re gonna go through this kind of maturity problem quite a lot.
