Honestly, that its not so crazy xD.

Docker/containers has pretty much become the go to standard. Vue, react, and angular have mostly pushed out the rest. There are more things, but it is nice and quiet except the click clack of the keyboard as people sit down build things.

One thing I do see gaining popularity and for good reason, in my humble opinion, is strict typing. It will be interesting to see how languages continue to change in the future. Even some of the loosest languages (php, js[ts]) are gaining a lot of type safety features.

Right now I'm crazy about DevOps. You would think it's something that just came out. I know I'm very late to the party but getting my team aboard the devops train is a game changer.

The cloud doesn't really excite me. You are just moving to a machine on the internet. So what?

Now Docker/Containers I am interested in but here's the problem. It only works with new stuff. If there was a way you could put a .NET 1.1 app in a container, that would be awesome!

Serverless Containers. As a developer who wants to create an application demo or follow a tutorial online and deploy it to the cloud, it is really cool to pack your app into a container and being able to have zero instances running if it isn't currently being used.

I don't know if all major cloud providers give you a free tier which renews every month as Google Cloud Run (Currently in Beta), but if they do, this allows junior developers to push code to the cloud without fear of having to pay for deploying a simple demo.
