Paradigm shifts are easy to recognize in hindsight.  The trick is recognizing them in their early stages.  Evolution, even in software, tends towards an equilibrium until something dramatically better comes along to disrupt that balance.  This talk compares past "software regime changes" (i.e. epochal design disruptions) to the new abstraction that's at the heart of Temporal, with analogies to the evolution of life. You will come away with knowledge about how this abstraction will reshape the ecosystem and change how you design and build software, and with a clear vision of the future of Durable Execution.
