Web developers? Servers?

Yeah, you know, that segment where a sh*t-ton of activity is going on with computing... and has been for the last couple of decades.

Yeah, seems that classic desktop applications are dead. You write server code and app works anywhere there is browser ;)

There are some which have moved to pure cloud, such as Google's photo editing offerings, but I do not think desktop apps are going anywhere soon, though more and more have ties to cloud services.

I haven't meant desktop apps like office, photo editor and media players,..., rather apps that can be moved to browser. What can be moved to browser will be moved to browser.

I agree to some extent... there will be web offerings. There already are for some of those... as noted Google has not only added cloud offering for photo editing and management they removed their desktop offerings.

There are also, of course, cloud based office apps -- though I think the desktop ones are here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future (say the next 10 years).

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
