[dba-Tech] FYI: Microsoft's 128GB Surface Pro Sells Out At MS Online Store Just Hours After Launch

 Hi Jim --

Mixing, matching and mashups is the new tech future.

Agreed.

But one cannot be a good, even satisfactory, "jack of many (software development/tech.) trades".
The tech. future IMO are standards, industrialization and specialization.
Industrialization doesn't mean (here) that there will be no place for "one jack"/SMB software development/tech. companies - industrialization means that custom software development to be competitive will have to be driven by well educated in computer science and application development (process) engineers and managers, engineers and managers who will be taught to use "the right tool for the right job" and when for a certain project/task they will find they aren't skilled enough to apply the most suitable tool(s) they will effectively delegate that project/job to a third-party and acquire/integrate the results of their work via standard/custom (web) APIs.
