Ask HN: What are this year's buzzwords?

18 points by tyrbentsen ↗ HN
I don't particularly like the use of buzzwords, but they give a sense of what's living in the corporate world.

Which buzzwords should be dropped in a meeting for the other parties to nod profusely?

I know it's not new but my corporate/banking clients can't stop themselves saying "Cloud Native".

On the other side of things I think we'll see a lot of mixed reality/metaverse type terminology come to the forefront this year.

MLOps. Rightfully so. If you're involved in the field, this is long overdue. There's a lot of noise but things will settle in a few years when people quit.

Why ops instead of Data science ?

Data science is the algorithm part. ML ops is the infrastructure and process/workflow part, that enables efficient application of data science.

Clubhouse!

I remember how aggressive my network was with regards to getting invitations, how Elon Musk was on it, etc. I'm curious if this'll be something we remember as the start of a new social network or a short-lived fad mid-way through the pandemic.

It's funny how 2nd post under this one is how clubhouse is valuated at 4 bil, and this post is the first time I've heard about it

Dispersion.

While remote work is more commonplace in tech, lots of firms are confronting a workforce that had a strong year fully remote, and will dig in their heels at the thought of needing to commute to an office.

Covid... In negative sense, but also in investing sense. We will see a multitude of R&D and investments in all sorts of forms around this buzzword. From tests, filtering, mRNA to all sorts of medical innovations.
