I remember five years ago when you could make enormous amounts of money if you knew how to send a tweet... I don't. Wow, what a missed opportunity. ten years ago when you could make enormous amounts of money if you knew how to install anti-virus software I don't remember that, either. That said, you can still make passable money doing charlatan "computer repair" that amounts to running an antivirus scan, CCleaner, disk cleanup and maybe some graphics tweaks to speed things up a bit. And now these things have gotten so easy that the value of knowing how to do them is basically zero. They've always been easy? Releases like this show that web development is quickly going the same way. It's an arms race, really. You have a lot more batteries than ever before, but the expectations for today's web applications are so high that the real value comes in being able to compose vast and multifaceted technological stacks, which as it turns out, is not so easy. There's almost this zealotry against building a native application that makes people take ridiculous hoops just so they can view things under a web browser. Additionally, the abstractions are still pretty leaky thus far, so building a complex app requires a lot of domain-specific knowledge that has yet to become invisible.
