I'd love you know your thoughts on what's changed for developers in the last 20 years. 1. We moved from client apps to web apps to mobile apps. 2. Client server apps were for work and now there's a lot more "consumers" using apps 3. Hence, design and simplicity have become important. 4. We went from waterfall to agile programming. 5. There's a huge proliferation of "stacks" and "fragmentation" of languages for specialized tasks.

What other trends do you see?

I am not looking for a right or wrong answer on this one. I have always the principle "Always be validating". So every idea of mine is shared with the intent of answering questions such as need, pricing, positioning etc. How often (how many people do you talk to and how long) do folks here validate their ideas?
