What are this year's buzzwords?
I don't particularly like the use of buzzwords, but they give a sense of what's living in the corporate world.
Which buzzwords should be dropped in a meeting for the other parties to nod profusely?
Clubhouse!
I remember how aggressive my network was with regards to getting invitations, how Elon Musk was on it, etc. I'm curious if this'll be something we remember as the start of a new social network or a short-lived fad mid-way through the pandemic.
MLOps. Rightfully so. If you're involved in the field, this is long overdue. There's a lot of noise but things will settle in a few years when people quit.
I know it's not new but my corporate/banking clients can't stop themselves saying "Cloud Native".
On the other side of things I think we'll see a lot of mixed reality/metaverse type terminology come to the forefront this year.
Covid... In negative sense, but also in investing sense.
We will see a multitude of R&D and investments in all sorts of forms around this buzzword. From tests, filtering, mRNA to all sorts of medical innovations.
Dispersion.
While remote work is more commonplace in tech, lots of firms are confronting a workforce that had a strong year fully remote, and will dig in their heels at the thought of needing to commute to an office.
Smart contracts, NFTs, DevSecOps, Bare metal, Ethereum (as in it will become as household as Bitcoin over time), Apple M2, Hybrid/Multi cloud, DaaS (Data as a Service)
Variant. Red zone. Booster. RPE. Onshoring. Onchain.
