In regards to the evolution of speaking to an audience about programming in general, I take the stance that I will never be surprised by the technology that we create. I wouldn't be surprised if remote speaking at conferences becomes common. It'd be really cool if we could create holograms of the speaker.
One thing I'd really like to see more of is events that live stream so those who have extreme social anxiety (or any other reason that makes it hard for them to attend in person) can participate/learn. It'll also help speakers reach a much wider audience.
My number one hope is that technical blogging never burns out. I enjoy it so much.
In regards to my own personal evolution of speaking to an audience about programming over the next 5 years, my end goal is to speak at conferences. I have only spoken at one small meetup for Flatiron so far. I hope to gain the confidence to feel comfortable speaking in front of a large room of people. I get pretty nervous while speaking in public in general, but I always feel so proud of myself afterwards so it's 100% worth the nerves for me.
I also want to create my own blog site and begin cross posting, but that is a more immediate goal.
Not entirely sure this answers your question fully, but there ya go. 😊

Wow!
How do you envision the next five years of evolution in terms of being able to speak to an audience about programming?

Although it's hard to get accepted as a speaker for big conferences it's pretty easy to go up as a lightning talk speaker btw. Hopefully that helps :)
