Annual tech trends for 2024
As we embark on a new year, I am delighted to share my annual tech insights, a tradition I've cherished on my Facebook wall. These aren't just predictions; they are reflections of my journey with Hacktiv Colab, deeply rooted in a triad of insightful sources.
Firstly, the Hype Cycle for emerging technologies guides us through the maze of tech trends, helping us identify those with true transformative potential. Secondly, I delve into Hacktiv's own treasure trove of data - our project inquiries - which serves as a pulse check on what's resonating with our clients and the market. Lastly, our partnership with giants like Microsoft provides a lens into cutting-edge product developments and industry shifts.
This methodical approach is personal to me and central to Hacktiv Colab's ethos as an Enterprise Dev-House specializing in Microsoft Business Apps, Azure, and other deep technologies. It's a compass that directs our strategic planning, from pinpointing the right talent to nurturing the necessary skills within our team.
Developer experience (DevX) is poised to become a significant trend in the tech industry, as companies increasingly recognize its impact on productivity and innovation. By prioritizing DevX, organizations can streamline development processes, reduce time-to-market, and enhance the quality of software products. This focus on creating a more intuitive and efficient environment for developers is not just about improving workflow, but also about attracting and retaining top talent in a highly competitive field.

Copilot, an AI-powered coding assistant, exemplifies the advancement in DevX by providing developers with intelligent code suggestions, automating routine tasks, and significantly reducing the time and effort required for coding.
Integrating Copilot into a developer's workflow enhances DevX by streamlining the coding process. It offers real-time code completion, bug detection, and even suggests entire blocks of code based on the context, learning from vast repositories of public code. This not only speeds up the development process but
