This is a submission for the 2025 New Year Writing challenge: Predicting 2025.

Here are my predictions for the trends, technologies, and tools that will dominate our industry headlines:

  • AI at the Core of Everything: AI will continue to revolutionize industries, moving beyond standalone applications to seamlessly integrating into every aspect of software development. Developers will increasingly rely on AI-driven tools for code generation, debugging, and project management.

  • Edge Computing's Rise: With the expansion of IoT and 5G networks, edge computing will gain more traction. Developers must adapt to building systems that process data closer to the source, enhancing performance and reducing latency.

  • Sustainability in Tech: Companies will prioritize building energy-efficient solutions to align with global sustainability goals. Green coding practices and carbon-aware computing will become standard industry practices.

Technologies and Tools

  • WebAssembly: As WebAssembly (Wasm) becomes mainstream, it will unlock new possibilities for high-performance applications on the web, revolutionizing how developers build and deploy software.

  • Platform Engineering: The concept of platform engineering will gain momentum as companies focus on creating internal developer platforms that streamline workflows and improve productivity.

  • Quantum Computing Foundations: While still in its infancy, quantum computing will see advancements that could disrupt encryption, optimization, and data processing industries.

The future is bright, and 2025 promises to be a year of exponential growth and innovation for our industry.

I look forward to witnessing and contributing to these exciting developments.
