Imagine a world where your work is disposable. That’s right, trashed. You’re a COBOL programmer, and everyone wants to rewrite your applications in Java. HTML is all the rage.

A few years pass, and HTML isn’t good enough anymore. So that work gets entirely replaced by a Flex application.

Where does it end?

As a web developer, you need to start concerning yourself with making your interfaces disposable. The User Interface world is changing rapidly, and you need to be ready. It’s time to start learning how to structure your code so that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time a new technology comes out.
