Session: Software won - so what now?
Wednesday 8.30 - 9.45
Room: Keynote
You guys have won. Software is, as Mark Andreessen recently declared,
eating the world. You are the emperors and are cutting through and
reinventing industries one by one. But... let's think about what comes
next. What should your bigger legacy be? What should your minds and
skillset be focused on now in order to solve the bigger, more meaningful
problems that beset us? And how can the coder approach lead the world into
an era of abundance, of iterative trouble-shooting, of optimal management
of our resources - both physical and intellectual - in order to generate
the greatest happiness for the greatest number?
