Realistically? Stuck in a cycle of dead end, highly corporate developer positions. Provably still working with .NET, but I imagine non-tech companies will be migrated to core finally

Still in tech, but helping more people with products and content I create.Prediction-wise: - I agree with AI. I hope it will be advanced enough that we can have conversations with it, that it can anticipate things to help us with. - I think banking as we know it will be different -- and the U.S. dollar is no longer the world currency. - Hopefully, there is a cryptocurrency that is backed up with gold and silver. - I really want Universal Basic Income to happen in the U.S. and also Medicare/healthcare coverage for all Americans.

Ideally I will have decoupled my income from my time, made progress on personal savings, still be working remote, still have full control over my time, still working with great people, still paying the bills, and all that.IT predictions, no thanks!

If the stars align and all is well, I will have a 10 to 20 acre homestead. I grow my own food. Chickens. Maybe some sheep and cows. I subsist on writing. Woodworking takes up a large chunk of my days and it's been so long since the last time I've programmed, I would have completely lost the skill entirely. That's the dream... forgetting to code...

Hopefully a Team Lead (or at least Senior Developer) in my current highly-corporate environment. Possibly work from home. Joined as an Associate per company policy, but already have 6 years under my belt. Taking some accredited coursework in ML and DL at night to open up professional options.

2 different questions I hope.1. Running a company doing 10+ Mil USD a year in revenue2. Crypto hype will be dead. AI hype will gain more steam. The FAANGs will keep getting bigger and richer.

I'm not in the IT world, but I see two parallel worlds, the virtual world (like the next generation of Minecraft) and the real world
And people will spend more time in the virtual world to cooperate on different projects they love voluntarily.

Honestly, I don&rsquo;t know. I only know I will still be a programmer. Who would have thought politics would be like this around the world in 2014? It makes me very uncomfortable and likely to move elsewhere (I am not American).

staller · Answer

I like to think I'll be a VPE or CTOStill not sure how to get there, but in the last 2 years I've had the opportunity to be involved in the building and planning around a product and I know that's what I want to keep doing.
