The good thing about old stuff getting "new" is that we already have seen it, is like my with clothes, people say fashion is cyclic, so I'm not out of it, I'm just ahead of the next one ;)
So when people says something like SQL is old and obsolete or performance and optimization is worthless because computers are to fast nowadays, I just smile, nod and wait.
For example, I think that the golden age of slow PL is about to be over, we are hitting the end of the line of HW power, until a complete makeover, for a while SW people relied on HW people dealing with performance and we just kept worrying about the new features, bells and whistles, but HW is (in its current form) about to hit a wall of physics. So in the next years I think performance in SW will get even more important, after all you can double your HW or halve the needed resources. Old is the new, new.
