every advance requires software that has not yet been written... --Grady Booch in ADT Interview

That's exactly right, I think. That's why I would not proclaim software industry dead. As long as there's going to be innovation, there's going to be a need for software. So maybe the software-engineer's future doesn't look so bleak after all? I think so. I think once the IT industry recovers, it will be a whole lot better. And like Grady says, "there's still a lot of exciting stuff we'll get to do in the coming years."
