This is a depressing list, I was expecting some interesting new bio engineering process or dunno quantum chemistry this or that for easier synthesise of whatever, but instead it was either marginal improvements like wasm or total BS like blockchain/cloud. AI/ML is probably the only interesting thing happening in tech at the moment, it has been getting more attention in the last year but that is because it has honestly enabled a lot of people to do things they could not do before. Personally I think that there is also a lot of things happening in computer graphics but the money has been miss allocated on creating virtual places instead of making the real world better.

It's funny, but looking back at the computer technologies that have been truly transformative since the 60s, it's hard to find anything that was considered sexy or interesting or had much hype. Heck, even the transistor, invented around 80 years ago now, was considered so uninteresting that Bell Labs gave it away. The semiconductor IC came out of TI in 1958, and again, it hardly made waves.

To be fair the article is badly titled and should probably substitute tech for software.

Not everything needs to be a revolution, and I find that kind of more pragmatic article very useful to understand what tools are becoming available for your craft.
