My father bought one of the first 100 TRS-80 computers ever made and at the age of 11 I was fluent in assembler. By the time I finished high school, I could program in 14 languages. I've found other people who have similar backgrounds - and in almost every case they share a similar trait: the ability to recognize a disruptive technology.
In my career, I've made a few "early calls":
1985 - Windows 1.0
1991 - Visual Basic 1.0
1993 - PowerBuilder 2.0
1995 - Java
1997 - XML
2002 - BPEL
and now,
2005 - SDM
It's that big. It's right - and it will change our profession.
