- WFH will increase and thus apps and processes that support this. For example, I expect we have one additional team communication product on the Slack/Teams level of popularity. Focusing on either privacy or more employer surveillance.

- Legal issues for AI coding help.

- Commercial support/add-ons for the "fediverse". Resulting in a lot of de-federalization and thus at least two sub-spheres.

- AAA gaming will tackle the new rise of AI. Better bots, for one (your computer will now insult your mom, too). Prompting tech journalists to coin horrible new pseudo-acronyms like "AIAIAI" or "AAAAI".

- More people moving away from VSC due to better LSP integration in existing and new editors (Helix, neovim etc.)

- You'll read a lot more about "permacomputing", with no definite products.

- Metaverse will continue to fail, possible new book by Jared Lanier gloating.
