1. "Good Managers Are Able To Manage Everything" attitude will be still taken seriously in the IT.
2. Companies will still try (but fail) to save money on developer's hardware (RAM, CPU, storage space).
3. There will be still attempts to build complex business software cheaply with outsourcing.
4. Waterfall decorated with agile vocabulary is going to be the development process of the year.
5. Non-coding architects will still aim to simplify developer's live by sharing their wisdom on slides.
6. We will get even more languages running on the JVM, what will significantly increase the productivity :-).
7. Empty layers and extensive, not tested, mappers are still going to be the most popular "pattern".
8. Software metrics and plain numbers will outweigh common sense.
9. Small and productive corporate developer teams are going to be further reduced in favor of external consultants--for cost reduction.
10. ...and small, reasonable, focussed and motivated teams and companies will be order of magnitude more productive and cost effective, than any other dogma-driven competition.
