I remember during the early VR/AR craze, people were pitching it to me, "come work on it! this will be the new mobile!"
Some were genuine, and some were just bullshiters riding on the hype wave. I shrugged. Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Now, in the last few weeks (especially in the last few days), I have seen a bunch of laypeople, general IT people, and ML experts alike say "this is the new iPhone moment!".
Those were followed up by product announcements from almost everyone.

And, this time, I definitely agree.

@BartWronski it's just like the iPhone in that everyone is trying to think of the fart app that's gonna make them a million dollars for 4 hours of work
@snagy and for some, this will certainly happen :)
@BartWronski but this time around there will be an equal number of people who accidentally end up with a million dollar azure bill
