12 Reasons Developers Shouldn't Worry About The Future
The Joel on Software Forum - If you're good, don't worry: 12 Reasons
My personal favorite is this:
5. Development may involve solving fewer technical problems in the future and more time spent stepping back to say "what are we really trying to do here". A good developer is always doing this. A bad developer just wants to write code. One of the real advantages of experience isn't that it's done right; it's that it's done right without 3 painful iterations.
That's what I did today at work. Anymore, I do that everyday. That's the nature of dealing with a business that 4 years into it, is still nascent. Content management was a phrase that didn't exist when I got involved in that business. I wonder what will be the next nascent business for me? Regardless, I wouldn't have it any other way.
