The Beat Goes On

I thought "Silverlight was dead" (because everyone said so), except that "OpenSilver" seems to be gaining traction and is just not wishful thinking. I know little about "web assemblies" and Blazor; except that apparently you'll be able to run WPF / XAML in a browser. So, those "obsolete desktop skills" will now put you ahead of everyone else in terms of creating a better web experience. I thought it would happen ... that it was just waiting for more bandwidth.

There are very few skills that become obsolete, especially in a field where "obsolete" is quite relative.

I'm really interested in this. I've become quite fond of WPF over the years, but have very few chances to use it any more because most of my job-oriented work is asp.net now.

There's currently little demand for "fat clients". If one was to decide on a career path and all one did is read job ads, one would conclude that all we needed is a little mobile screen and 2 thumbs.

Luckily fat developers are still in demand or I'd be homeless :~ In my part of the world less than half of the job descriptions fit your description and they are underpaid and overcrowded. As of today the highest required jobs here are embedded development (no finger needed as interaction with the end user is minimal if present) and data science.
