As I've gotten older I've noticed I've become more pessimistic of changes in the field. Occasionally a really good idea comes along which sticks. A lot of the time though it feels like a new hit framework is cooked up every week, and experience has taught me that this weeks hip framework can quickly turn into last years boring support nightmare.

In general I think we're heading towards better things... you just have to watch out for the warts along the way.
