I was reading this article a while back about StackOverflow’s decline in traffic over the past two years and what contributed to it.
The best part was the last line, where it discussed “the Fork” – where hopefully StackOverflow isn’t dying, but it’s in the midst of a Fork to figure out what it is to do next.
I feel that analogy can be applied to many in software right now. I was having a conversation with a friend the other day about what we were up to and I said I’m gearing up for what’s next, retooling, relearning.
That’s the Fork in the proverbial road, you can take the new road, stay on the old one, or make your own path.
Either way, it’s going to be bumpy.
