in reply to [OT] End of hard disks era, new ways of development

I predict that new generations of programmers just never learn to check for available disk space.

It's hard to find a program that does, anyway. Almost nobody tests for available disk space, you just write out the data, and if you're an exceptionally careful programmer you'll test if the print() and close() succeed (and likely die if they didn't, keeping the disk filled to the brim).

I'm no exception, ofcourse. :-P

I predict that within 100 years computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.
