"I can't imagine how that would work" -> hearing that kills me inside :(

I think we have 2 options:

OPTION 1)

We've reached a plateau -- software will continue to be developed as it is now, no new abstractions.

OPTION 2)

Mankind will create a better set of tools to:

- reduce the effort needed

- increase the # of people who can participate

in the translation of ideas/requirements -> software.

For everyone's sake [1], I really hope it's the second! :)

As one crazy idea, imagine if you could have a spreadsheet that would let you build software instead of crunch numbers... ... anyway, probably a bad idea, we should stick to our current abstractions and tools :D
