Too Long; Didn't Read
Continuing from my post on the <a href="https://hackernoon.com/why-the-fuss-about-serverless-4370b1596da0#" target="_blank">fuss about serverless</a>, I thought I’d riff off Marc Andreessen’s famous statement and explain one possible future scenario where all your software belongs to Amazon. There are counter plays to what I’m going to discuss but these would make the post too long and being honest, I’m quite content to watch the executives of software giants flap around like headless chickens whilst their industry disappears. It won’t happen overnight, this process will take about 10–15 years but by the time people realise it’s happening (if it does) then it’s too late. It’s a type of economic change known as punctuated equilibrium but … that’s getting too technical, let us keep it simple.
