Looking Back - The Last Twenty Years of Software Development
summary
A concise retrospective that names milestones and results: AWS prototypes appear in 2002 then relaunch as S3/EC2 in 2006; browsers peak (Firefox ~33% around 2009) while IE6 lingers and Silverlight fails to replace Flash. Microsoft pivots—Azure overtakes Windows and dotnet becomes cross-platform with .NET Core, Roslyn and Xamarin proving feasibility; Visual Studio Code ships as an open source hit. Containers plus Kubernetes wins orchestration; JavaScript mutates via V8/Node, Angular/TypeScript and server-side tooling, and these shifts actually reshape deployment and developer workflows.
