Because everything changes so fast in software, in the developer DNA must be built in the ability to master new concepts and apply them very quickly. You build a solid foundation and can apply it everywhere. Additionally, in software development, you reinforce the skills that are important because you use them. You learn as you go and must always be learning.

People will be able to publish and download modules containing blocks which can easily be rearranged and configured both graphically and with code. It is shell scripting for the 21st century.

Let me know what you think.
