Ask HN: 90s programmers, what did you expect the future of tech to look like?
Oh god, there were so many boneheaded 90s predictions about computers.<p>1) We just expected single core performance to double forever every 2 years or so. Many of us were ignorant of single-core performance scaling and the memory wall issues.  I want to be clear: Computer Architects were warning people about this in the early 90s but many ignored their inconvenient truth.<p>2) 2D GUIs would evolve into 3D GUIs - maybe VR? Maybe something else? And the CLI would be gone<p>3) Low&#x2F;no code drag-and-drop style programming tools would take away many dev jobs<p>4) Microsoft taking over and Unix dying<p>5) All programming would be object-oriented (We are talking 90s style definition here)
