Within the walls of the Palazzo Apostolico in Vatican City is one of the most famous sanctums both in all Christendom and, indeed, the entire western world. The Sacellum Sixtinum, more commonly known as the Cappella Sistina or the Sistine Chapel, famously serves as the gathering place for the College of Cardinals whenever a papal conclave is held to appoint a new pope to lead the Roman Catholic Church.

The first thing that most people would probably tell you about the Sistine Chapel, however, is that it’s the place where that one guy named after the ninja turtle decorated the ceiling. Michaelangelo — who, incidentally, got the gig because two rivals were hoping he would screw it up and embarrass himself — painted, in four years, more than 300 figures across 500 square meters of chapel ceiling.

People, in general, tend not to create massive works of art on that scale anymore, and few works of art are viewed by roughly 5 million visitors each year. The closest contemporary equivalent, oddly, might be the website. Some sites are visited by as many as 5 million people per day, and just as Michaelangelo’s work covered up an existing deep blue backdrop adorned with golden stars, many companies frequently commission teams of designers and developers to give their old sites a fresh new look.

Given the relatively high degree of automation and templating that is part and parcel of web design and development in 2020, one might reasonably expect to find dwindling availability of jobs. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, on the other hand, projects growth in the field over the next 10 years at 13 percent.
