Hi, I agree with the original post that Flex developers should be on their toes looking at other technologies, the most obvious choice being UI technologies like HTML5, JQuery etc.
Couple of reasons: - Flex is winding down and even though it'll wind down even faster with upcoming Windows 8 which will not support browser plugins and increasing dominance of iOS. Even Adobe is pulling out of mobile browser space and will have to do so when major OS stop supporting third-party browser plugins. Sad but true. - Flex wouldn't die tomorrow, but you'll see less and less money put into it which means lesser exciting work and more maintenance on projects which are waiting to be converted into other technologies. Obviously these will not be a hell lot and will also not pay as much. - Being moved over to Apache doesn't mean it's gonna perform as good as other projects. If anything that went to apache became a rockstar, every project will start on apache. Apache is just an opensource foundation, it doesn't drive adoption and success. My advice to everybody (including me) is to start looking at other technologies and trying to be better programmers with more emphasis on algorithms, UI models, code structuring and just being better programmers. That's your insurance against the any tech you're working on fading out.
