Loved this. One slide which says it all. Before anyone goes "serverless is the future" ... no, "serverless is the norm" - it's just that so many are yet to realise this. Give it time, another five years or so ->
At which point, between 2024 to 2029, we will be reaching the "Oh f&*k" stage of enterprise adoption of serverless and you won't be able to hire serverless developers because every other company will be scrambling to do the same.
X : What's the future then?
Me : The future is always about practices, the technology is the underlying cause. The practices you should be concerned about today are highlighted in green (the grey is what you should have been concerned about in 2011).
X : I thought you said capital flow would be important?
Me : It will but you can't model capital flow until you model your supply chain. Right now, very few understand their supply chain, fewer their software supply chain and connecting it to value is as rare as hens' teeth.
Howver, that said, things like capital flow are part of the awareness bucket ... we will get there, eventually. Some sooner than others.
X : Do you have data for that graph?
Me : The graphic? It originally was a joke but alas it is one which is painfully close to something that seems to be happening.
It's the same with this old graphic ... a joke from an observation which seems to have become painfully close to reality.
X : How do I know when you're joking?
Me : I mark it on the graphic. But ... even when I'm joking, the best jokes have a grain of truth to them i.e. they are built from observation. Which is why they make you sometimes wince and go "that's us".
