I don't know if what you are saying is true. Where is the data?
But I do believe in the long run, you will be right. Software is saturated, and a lot of the infra has been built or commoditized. The value will be there for people who can analyze data.
Too bad I don't find analyzing data as fun or as interesting as banging out a programming problem.
- leonidasv 7y agoI think both are held together. If you have a lot of data, but your underlying system is simple, you don't need a lot of people to analyse it. Your demand for new people crunching that data will come as the complexity of your software grows. Think of it this way: having 10 endpoints and 10TB of plain-text data vs 1000 endpoints and 1TB of plain-text data. The later will surely require more time to be analysed, even though the amount of data is smaller.
- codesushi42 7y agoDisagree. Software is saturated and consolidated; the infrastructure has been built and is owned by large companies. And that trend will continue. Data on the other hand is still growing, and there is enough already that has not been analyzed. Traditional software engineering will still be important, but no longer glamorous. The future belongs to the data analysts.
