Los 90 otra vez
No sé si realmente tiene razón, pero la idea es interesante:
I think that the fascination with Apps (iOS, Android, etc) is largely because the mobile platforms are great escape routes for all the old guys who have 1EE7 native programming skills and no longer don’t have the time or inclination to learn new environments like Ruby or Python or NoSQL or Javascript. In a way, it’s returning to the 90s: slow processors, not a lot of pixels on display, sloppy connectivity and porting to other platforms is nigh-impossible due to proprietary interfaces. iOS and Android just like Windows from 90s, so they’re a safe, cozy place to be. But the same logic still applies on the mobile as it did on the PC: to reach a bigger audience and gain a faster development cycle to beat your competition, also the Apps will move to the Web. Competition will make sure of it, and once the mobile web tools get better, we’ll start seeing the impact. The young generation will march in, armed with tools like jQuery and Yottaa and create the next web.
En The «you morons, it’s just the 90s all over again» -rant.
