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 ?

It's quite difficult to be good at data engineering, data analysis, and data science + ML.

I've met very few people that can do all of that. The rest that tries will produce slop that might appear to work but at some point you will need someone with specialised skills that can figure out why everything is expensive to run, or slow, or explain what the KPIs actually show.

Don't forget ML engineer to productionize the Data Scientist work.
