Well of course only the huge companies can develop products that require enormous resources.
But I'm not too worried here because everyone gets access to larger datasets every year, and it gets cheaper to process every year, so whatever Microsoft or Google is capable of doing now, smaller companies will be capable of doing in a few years.
- hankman86 5y agoIt’s also a huge call for innovation. When a student learns to code, (s)he doesn’t need to analyse millions of Git repositories to get good at it. Throughout their entire career most developers will probably only see comparatively little code. Perhaps the equivalent of the Linux kernel, if that. And yet, we’re able to learn from the little we see and get reasonably good at coding. It even stands to reason how much better one gets by reading more code (most of which is pretty crappy anyway).
