SHOW NOTES:
GOOD PREDICTIONS, BAD PREDICTIONS, AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES
- How long the pandemic would last
- How much this would accelerate cloud adoption
- How efficient remote work would make companies
- The future of in-person events vs. virtual events
GOOD HABITS, BAD HABITS, AND LESSONS LEARNED
- Too many companies assumed that late 2020 through early 2022 would be the new normal
- The cloud providers all grew very fast, but none of them launched industry-changing new services, and have since laid off people
- SaaS services did not figure out how to be more profitable, and have laid off people
- Remove work hasn’t become more efficient, and it’s not creating new management / teamwork / collaboration challenges
- We’ve created very unusual and awkward human interactions, and tried to normalize them
- A new round of layoffs and economic uncertainty will end up creating another new set of behaviors - still TBD.
