We should all be prepared. And the way this is written read to me as 'yo yo #webdev nation get ready to abandon the web platform.' Thoughts?

The future is mobile. This is no joke: if you're building things with desktop assumptions, you're building for a shrinking market.

I hope desktop lives on, as I much prefer the desktop experience. Sites need, though, to be built to work on mobile as well

I personally was just doing a reality check on the interpretation of that tweet - whether it was in fact implying mobile over web. :)
Yet this was from a double double serious tech person with hands on experience, hence my pause for interpretation. I agree w/ you.
Yeah. I've had that conversation with the tweeter and many of that age group before. It doesn't help. They have to live a bit more.
I love me some Harlan! That's hilarious. They still don't get it, but I might employ the trick just to lay some OG wisdom on 'em!
I've been gnawing on this. Whether generational or (?) seems literary & artistic canonical references are lost on THESE KIDS TODAY!
Then say that, right? I'm just pedantic because people call me on stuff like that all the time. And they're right.
