Ask HN: What are your predictions, about your field, for 2020?

2 pointsby joddystreetover 5 years ago
Field&#x2F;Industry: Software -<p>- no code hype to continue<p>- software companies labelling themselves as - “superhuman for X” (whatever that means)<p>- more open source products (not just libs or frameworks, but full fledged products)<p>- more companies opting for in-house development<p>- fight for privacy is going to continue, but it’s all going to be in vain<p>- decentralised internet, software would continue to be a toy<p>- in programming language, no new breakthroughs. Python, JS, Golang would continue their upward trend.<p>- Remote teams trend to continue<p>- SaaS offerings would grow more vertical (see “superh... X”)<p>- I don’t think SaaS consolidation is going to happen (have read a lot of predictions about this)<p>Opinion- Experienced developers, that side project you always wanted to start, now would be a great time to do that , or switch to engineering management.<p>Overall it’s going to be a great time for the MBAs and not so exciting time for the techies (a suggestion to techies - go watch uncle bob’s - future of programming and let’s start bringing some fundamental changes to our profession).
