- The ecosystem will be flooded by crypto/NFT refugees and startups looking for business models will raise absurd amounts of money while the rest of us wonder if the world turned stupid again.
- Generative AI will result in obnoxious chat-bots and customer-support SaaS that will make the entire process even more kafkaesque.
- Developers will be able to just `npm install` their way into ML without having to learn the fundamentals
2- Augmented Reality:
- We will see A/R glasses from Apple, with privacy as a selling point.
- Zuckerberg will quietly and slowly drop the meta-verse and resume investing in Instagram as it fades away from cultural relevance.
3- Algorithms:
- Algorithms will be the de-facto and ultimate judge of character. If Tiktok says you like water-polo, that means deep inside you like water-polo.
4- Musk:
- Twitter will be assigned a ridiculous CEO and will start a 3 year dive out of media/culture relevance as Gen-Z don’t care for it.
- Tesla stock will continue to drop, as more established companies build better EVs more reliable and with better quality.
5- Social media:
- Mastodon will be successful, but nothing like Twitter or Facebook. The intended lack of features and fragmentation will prevent it from being a network for viral content or events.
- TikTok will lose creators to YouTube, especially if they don’t fix their monetization and bots problems.
6- Software development:
- React will continue to rule as the web platform at least for another few years, but the momentum will slow.
- Next.js will overshadow Remix, as the latter doesn’t offer enough competitive advantage to sway away users.
- SvelteKit will be the fastest growing framework but it will be mostly for smaller/hobby projects.
- Despite the initial hype, Rome tools, Deno & Bun will be quasi abandoned as the ecosystem outpaces their release cycle and the benefits don’t merit the headache of migration.
- Rust will leak in most software tooling and we will see attempts at a Django-like framework.
Regarding augmented reality, I think that necessity to be in cameras on Zoom calls all day is a perfect use case for it: Live deepfake masks. Do your hair and makeup once, scan yourself, and then you can hide behind your own (or someone else's) digital visage.
