Technology changes quickly, but patterns persist. I’m halfway through my working age and seen reinvention of the wheel multiple times already. Hard not to get jaded, but hey, keeps me having a job.

Now, 5-10 year doomer predictions

• Monopoly breakups / downfalls
  • I pray for this, but have little faith in world leaders
• Migration away from SaaS by default, Colo’s take root again
  • Implying client-server pattern, self-hostable artifacts, etc.
• Quantum computing breaks TLS. Cyber warfare (re)ignites, utter downfall of internet
  • Further push towards private networks, cabling, etc.
  • And sure, quantum encryption replaces TLS, but transition period brings massive strife
