I don't think there's a "killer app" coming soon, but it'll be a thousand cuts. One awesome thing here, one slightly less awesome but still useful thing over there. Take Copilot. Cool stuff and one of the early products. Doesn't change the game in any fundamental way, but it does have its impact on the work of a substantial fraction of developers.

This is not unlike the computer revolution itself. When the PC came on the scene it was easy - for some types - to imagine The Future and they proclaimed it loudly. They forgot that the rest of the world take their time and regularly take decades to get used to very minor changes in their routine.
