we’re on the brink of a new era. Everybody is used to creating their own computing for now. It won’t be long until we all switch to cheaper computing and leave our own servers to rust. Bad times are coming for sysadmins and people occupied with server- and hosting-infrastructures. Unless of course you have the ambition to go work for one of the utility-providers, the world will primarily be needing appliance-builders. Design will become way more important as well.
Interesting remark regarding the future of computing. Never thought about it that way.
