In this video, I’m sharing my 2026 bold predictions for the web development ecosystem and some major personal updates for the channel. We'll discuss the potential future of Payload CMS, the ever-changing AI landscape, and the rising challenges of cloud infrastructure complexity.
Here’s what I cover:
- My potential expansion into content beyond Payload CMS. I’m looking at TanStack, Astro, and general coding advice.
- Why I believe Payload will remain open source and how it will eventually power fully AI-generated sites in Figma.
- My thoughts on why copyright lawsuits and plagiarism accountability might finally slow down the current AI hype cycle.
- Why we should expect more internet outages in 2026 due to increasing system complexity and unvetted AI tools.
- Why Next.js will maintain its industry dominance throughout 2026, despite strong new competition.
