One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
I write tech articles about things I love. I also run DevSpotlight - we create tech content for tech companies. If you need tech content, or want to create tech content, reach out!
That's a great question. And the answer is - I don't know! These are just 5 trends that I think you should keep an eye on. I could be wrong and they could (though probably won't be) worthless skills in 5 years. But in my view, knowing one or more of these 5 will help you to stay valuable as an employee in the future.

At the same time, I think that there is a huge demand for developers and that if you want to do something completely different than the current trends, don't worry, you can be happy and a valuable employee in the future.
As a general rule, I see "Things you MUST know to xxx" or "Things you SHOULD learn to xxx", my experience is that it's always false. You don't really must and you don't really should.
I am not saying this to be mean, I have often seen that great content is hidden behind those titles I dislike.
I am saying this because there is no MUST or SHOULD in learning. You learn much faster when you do it because you WANT to learn it because you know your WHY.

Hello Michael,
So the 5 trends you have identified are:
Python-Rust / Blockchain / SaaS PaaS / Hybrid Clouds / AI
To understand better why we need to know those five things, can you explain me what will happen in case to people that do not learn those things?
