Ask HN: Are Web3 and DApps the Future?
by warent on Hacker News.
Reflecting on my skills as a full stack web developer (senior; in a management position now), I can’t help but feel that with all the bootcamps, accelerated courses, all this new talent entering the field, that at some point the market will become saturated and I’ll be less valuable especially as a developer. Now I’m hearing more and more about Web3 and decentralized apps (DApps) all the time and think about when the internet was new, the average layperson had no idea what a “website” was or a “dot com” meant. Yet now it’s common knowledge. Is it possible that decentralized apps and blockchain technology is going follow a similar course? And when “classical” web development becomes saturated, these will continue being the highly valued specialist markets? I guess what I’m asking is, do you feel it is wise and valuable in the long term to begin pivoting one’s career to blockchain now rather than staying as a typical web dev?
