(putting this in comment, I think it's more idiomatic to HN).
I think we'll see a revival of MSPs (Managed Service Providers) with a touch of custom-devops. Teams just want to work, but selecting services among a myriad offers and possibilities, then setting it all up to operate seamlessly and flawlessly is very valuable time and maintenance. Nowadays it's just companies hiring MSPs, tomorrow it might be something you integrate as a transformation of your "home" into a dual "workplace", albeit more digitally so because it's the 21st century.
Ideally you just want to be able to claim compliance to <some standard> and hand over a public key to your employer-of-the-month to patch your system to theirs (auth etc.)
Welcome to the Matrix, I guess. The nice part :)
I think ML will keep on rolling but remain mostly a business-thing for the next decade (I don't see how consumers would directly pay for ML, short of revolution in open-source social networks and big data but I don't see that happening this soon in history).
