Phil sent me the link and has also commented on the talk here: http://smartdisorganized.blogspot.com.br/2013/07/the-future-of-programming.html
I agree with some of Phil's comments about why we've ended up where we are, but I also think Bret's point was meant to be less specific and more inspirational. It was more of a wake up call to try something new and it certainly encourages me to keep going with this project.
