Lot’s of good points here but I would add to stop thinking in terms of “Web development” and more in terms of “Internet development”. Going forward, it’s going to be more about data integration with all kinds of components beyond the Web. The Web may be just one of the “verticals” your clients need.

Personally I would get more serious about becoming stronger with software languages and database fundamentals. Even if you aren’t coding down the road for your clients and are just managing projects, having a strong grasp of programming is going to be a much needed asset. Especially for small to medium sized shops which have the agility to pick up new technologies at a much faster pace than the large conglomerates.

The days of just building a static web site are clearly long over, but the days of a client JUST needing a dynamic web site will be coming to an end as well.

Hmm thanks for sharing this wonderful post, I really like to your thread.It is quite helpful discussion according to me, thank you so much for the impressive post…...

I career in web development is a career dedicated to continuous learning.

Whilst other industries naturally evolve, they have been around for decades or centuries (think architecture, civil engineering, automotive, etc.). Imagine working in those industries now - a lot of it is repetitive and lessons have already been learned. With web development, it seems like every project has something new to implement or test out.

So until the web/tech industry matures (and we’re living like the Minority Report) then there is plenty still to learn. Isn’t that worth being optimistic about?

Working & learning at the same time = high burnout rate no matter the industry (especially the fast pace technology industry)
Middle age crisis = magnifying glass for the issues that did not bug you before.

Take a break man and literally unplug 😊

Thanks for The information about Web Design / Development Careers Cause nowadays web development is new age of technology.

I think the biggest change happening now is the remarkable visual improvement of user experience Web Design (UX). There’s been a rapid influx of talented UX designers to this growing field and it shows in new apps and products that have been released. “Another big change I’ve noticed, and one I’m very happy about, [there] is a trend towards simplification. Information is being presented in a way that we are used to, prioritised by subject in an almost step-by-step feeding of information. This has allowed sites and apps to look slicker and function more effectively.
