Prediction Season
It’s that time of year again.
I don’t mean the holidays; I mean prediction season. Nearly every
publication, regardless of type, is sharing predictions for 2023.
When done well, predictions make you think about future
possibilities.
Our next issue will be full of industry predictions for the coming year.
Predictions are also fun because no one really expects them all to come true, but, if
you happen to get a few right, you get to look like a genius!
So take your chance to look like a genius!
If you’d like to share one of your own, please send to me before December 20. It’s
simple – 200ish words, a short author bio, a headshot, and a title for your
prediction. Send to me at
.

cost saving measure from having servers on site and 24-hour support on site
ourselves.” Spend was initially $10K or so a month but that quickly grew to
$150,000/month. The spend included both development work as well as the
production system sold to customers.
Devarajan saw this cost exploding and thought he could reduce the costs by
