The barriers to AI engineering are crumbling fast

"after years of working in DevOps, MLOps, and now GenAI"

You truly know how to align yourself with hype cycles?

They missed out on drones and blockchain.

... and Cloud! Don't forget The Klaaooud ...

Well, resume driven development does work, it seems.

Of course it does, your resume is a critical part of selling your skills & services to employers. Want to close faster and for more $$$? Demonstrate your value prop in the terms they know and care about.

Nah, I see plenty of “my code executed in a CPU on someone else’s computer” in that list.

Cloud isn’t really hype. VR or metaverse is the one you’re forgetting

drones may still be a thing, and weren't nearly as hyped as blockchain.

my barometer for penetration is how often the non-tech people talk about it, e.g. goofball uncle didn't buy a drone, but he went hard on BTC. if he's still holding he probably made money recently, too.

Cloud today, edge tomorrow.

My uncle bought a drone but didn't touch BTC. I agree penetration isn't the same, but it's also very different crowds.
