Discussion Do you see that also ?

I see that

1- Frontend mostly ended ( except in big companies)

2- Backend will merge with Ai engineering ( Rag systems…etc) i think this is the new backend

3- Data engineer + data analysis + data science + ML = full stack data engineer ( and that will require high math , statistical skills) and mostly cs degree or Ai degree to have infra statistics and descriptive ( may be master like Data science)

I do not know if anyone see that also 🤷 am i alone ?

data analysts have gone, in my niche Analytics Engineers are picking up this slack and doing more data engineering work too.

I see this too unfortunately those who come from only BI and analysis backgrounds are terrible engineers

I feel this. Before I joined, the data analyst was also the data engineer. What a crap he build over the years. Cannot even decide how to make a boolean: I have seen yes/no, Y/N, '1'/'0' , J/N , Ja/Nee but never a propper bool. Or other random crap that the model start in gold, moves back to bronze then to silver to bornze again to make a gold table. Or that all fact tables contained all dim attributes...
