1. Tech Hiring Resurgence:
After a wave of layoffs in 2023, tech companies are poised to reverse the trend in 2024. Increasing tech vacancies and a natural yearly fluctuation suggest a surge in hiring, particularly in the first yearly quarter.
2. Rust's Continued Growth:
The momentum behind Rust, a programming language competing with C and C++, is expected to persist. More companies may shift from C or C++ to Rust, and there's a growing movement to integrate Rust into unconventional domains like web and mobile app development.
3. Demand for Custom ML/AI Tools:
The AI boom in 2023, fueled by tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, will extend into 2024. The rise of bespoke machine learning tools catering to specific business needs will create a demand for professionals versed in AI and ML model development.
4. AI Tool Adoption:
Developers utilizing AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot will outpace those who don't. The productivity boost provided by these tools will become a significant differentiator in 2024, emphasizing the importance of familiarizing oneself with AI-assisted development.
5. Stagnation in CRUD Developer Salaries:
With AI tools reducing barriers to entry for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) development, salaries for developers in this niche may stagnate. It's advisable for developers to diversify their skills into more technically challenging areas to stay competitive.
6. Surge in AI Plagiarism Detection Tools:
The ease of AI content generation poses challenges, leading to increased demand for tools detecting AI-generated content. This trend is crucial in addressing issues such as misinformation and academic plagiarism.
7. TypeScript + React Standard for Front-End:
TypeScript and React are projected to become the de-facto standard for front-end development. The simplicity and type safety offered by TypeScript, coupled with the versatility of React, are consolidating their position as dominant technologies.
8. Reduced Reliance on Manual Testing:
Front-end developers are expected to decrease reliance on manual testing. Automation tools for UI testing and methodologies like TDD for the front-end will become more prevalent, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
9. Increase in Broken Web Pages:
Over-reliance on automated validation tools may lead to more broken web pages. Issues like asynchronous loading causing unexpected user interactions are expected to rise due to insufficient manual testing practices.
10. Blockchain Popularity Surge by Year-end:
The cyclical nature of blockchain popularity, often tied to Bitcoin halving events, is anticipated to resurface towards the end of 2024. Talks about blockchain technology, including potential resurgences of Web3 or NFTs, may gain prominence.
As we navigate the evolving landscape of software engineering, these predictions offer insights into potential shifts and challenges awaiting the industry in the coming year.
