I don't want to go into details, it's pretty simple to cheat if you just get a little creative. On the other hand, it's not that hard to spot, either.

I think the next big thing is global political turmoil along with monstrous economic suffering for many places in the world including US & EU, which have been immune to such things for a while. In terms of technical "next big thing

Then call it US + EU vs Russia + China. The point is that it's getting serious.

I couldn't disagree more. You don't buy a drill, you buy a way to get a hole in, say, wood. That's the core product. The core product of 'programming' is a software solution. So far, the best way to approach it is
