Front end, serverside rendering and templates will continue to eat into the react style component mindshare.

We might actually see separation between application and document based flows. CSS has gotten very powerful and may replace much of the JavaScript based animations and flows.

Back end, we will see a return to monoliths, especially with the next round of start ups.

LLMs will lead the charge back towards device based computing. As worries about global connectivity rise, on prem installations will be re evaluated. The cloud won’t go away, but it will lose mindshare.

Technology, like all fashion, is largely cyclic. If you want to know the future, look to the past.
