Thanks for the kind words about the interview. I don’t know what the next big thing in tech is, but I think there’s a lot of work to be done simplifying the front end. There’s a lot of cool things there, and a lot of complexity, but I worry about what a new developer in 2020 has to jump through to build things. It’s sorta what got me really excited about Hugo; that I didn’t have to use React; I could use regular HTML fragments like back in the PHP days. It was refreshing to step back a bit.
So I’m hopeful that the next big thing is something that drastically reduces complexity on the front end.
