(putting this in comment, I think it's more idiomatic to HN).<p>I think we'll see a revival of MSPs (Managed Service Providers) with a touch of custom-devops. Teams just want to work, but selecting services among a myriad offers and possibilities, then setting it all up to operate seamlessly and flawlessly is <i>very</i> valuable time and maintenance. Nowadays it's just companies hiring MSPs, tomorrow it might be something you integrate as a transformation of your "home" into a dual "workplace", albeit more digitally so because it's the 21st century.<p>Ideally you just want to be able to claim compliance to <some standard> and hand over a public key to your employer-of-the-month to patch your system to theirs (auth etc.)<p>Welcome to the Matrix, I guess. The nice part :)<p>I think ML will keep on rolling but remain mostly a business-thing for the next decade (I don't see how consumers would directly pay for ML, short of revolution in open-source social networks and big data but I don't see that happening this soon in history).
