Long time nixers
Generally, I think that the future of computing is mostly over. There is nobody left who would be willing to try new things. What was the last actual innovation - handheld computers? Back in the 90s?

Our niches are exactly that: niches. We are a minority here. People are happy to eat what they're served. Wirth's Law is a menace - and nobody cares. Everyone has a gazillion gigabytes of RAM today, let's fill it with a text editor.

They just don't want to know.
