not only startups, quantum programming is like half the tracks at some PL conferences lol

devops / devsecops, especially when they don't want to pay for proper infrastructure or platform engineering

LLMs have dominated so much that I've had to stop joking "blockchain will solve it".

Autonomous driving? Lot of startups popped up but only few have survived

anka213.bsky.social•101 days ago

on that note, did you see Not Just Bike’s latest video on self-driving cars?

Ooh. Is he on bsky?

anka213.bsky.social•101 days ago

no, but he is on Mastodon: @[email protected]

I believe that it’s possible to bridge the two, but i haven’t figured out how

anka213.bsky.social•100 days ago

i asked him about bridging over on mastodon and he actively don’t want anything to do with bluesky

aburtolab.bsky.social•102 days ago

maybe a side of cloud, but serverless

noteed.bsky.social•101 days ago

Metaverse?

Could broaden LLMs to AI in general. It’s all curve-fitting. We can do loads of cool stuff with curve-fitting, but we can’t (for example) stop training radiologists anytime in the next 50 years.

Low-code and no-code platforms

leee.bsky.social•101 days ago

before blockchain/crypto was probably the initial attempts at VR/augmented reality? and before that maybe robotics/automation? Throw social media, mobile/smart apps somewhere in between?

Also: 5G, edge computing

3D printing had a big wave of interest in 2011-2013
