I see so from 1997 - 2008 things were awesome, then they sucked, but now they're great again! Do you honestly think web development technologies have hit some inflection point after which everyone can build their own web applications? People have been saying that about technology for hundreds of years (that it can't possibly improve) and they are always wrong. If you are trying to sell your services and you are competing with commodity web developers as the author plainly implied is now the case Im afraid I have some bad news for you: you suck at selling and should work to improve that before learning the next hot technology. There will always be more work.
