"First they came for the philosophers..." We techies better be careful how we treat the humanities. The fact that our skills are in high demand is an accident of history. The powers that be find us very useful now, but that can change. There can come a time when the only reason to code or study math/science is out of passion, and then we'll be in the same boat as the philosopher. Then we'll have no moral high ground to stand on because we cannibalized the humanities in universities. Of course, if you're just in STEM for the money, then by all means chase the next thing when that time comes.
