Hopefully in twenty years that kind of complexity has been abstracted out of existence.

Microservices may still exist as an organizational concept but I'd be stunned if we're still thinking about things like containers in 20 years.

Every generation of developers thinks their stuff will be replaced at some point but then they realize it's still used twenty years later. Happended with Y2K, Linux timestamps and a lot of other things.
