A new report from Cloudera shows that 88 percent of enterprises are adopting AI in some capacity, but many are still lacking the necessary data infrastructure and employee skills to truly benefit from it. *Assuming you're counting use of autocorrect as AI
That number really seems high to me

What’s Rye? Dynamic programming language focused on fluid expressions, still in development. Try it with a bit of ginger ale

Hi, author here. Thanks for posting it. Any feedback from developers is welcome ...
What does a reference to ginger ale mean btw?

"Rye" and "Fluid expressions": Rye Whisky and Ginger Ale.

Haha, I didn't see that one. To my defense ... it's hard to explain what you are trying to do sometimes :P

Also, I have friends that would normally be considered well versed in spirits. Yet they simply refuse to accept that anyone makes alcoholic beverages from rye. (This is not a foreign language problem - I discuss with them in Norwegian, our common native language.)
The discussion started years ago when I quoted the lyrics of "At the Jazz Band Ball": Back when a nickel would buy / Three fingers of pretty good rye / ...". The greatest expert (although self proclaimed  ) on spirits insisted that this must refer to something else, because noone ever uses rye. I regularly bring him new recipes from the net discussing use of rye in brewing (mostly beer, but also stronger drinks), but he insists that those recipes come from beginners who simply haven't yet discovered that rye isn't suited for that use. Anyone with the slightest clue about brewing knows that rye fermenting doesn't go well together.
Oh well, I let him live in his (rye-free) brewing bubble. I am sure that he wouldn't accept the joke even after having it explained. It isn't a joke when it is simply wrong!

New technologies affect the skill mix needed to produce apps, but not everyone agrees on the impact. Yes
Or I suppose I could have gone with the universal answer, "It depends"

Specialization is the hallmark of advanced economies. Those who expect employees to be jacks-of-all-trades because they want interchangeable worker bees or because "it's good for them" run a serious risk of making them masters of none. It's one reason I think that DevOps, to the extent that I understand its intent and how it's practiced, is seriously misguided.

I agree almost entirely, but I do think there's also a use for jacks-of-all-trades to view the big picture and how all the moving parts interact. Plus, they can be shoved in as needed when something comes up.

I gravitate to that.
I see this inverted though. The "cogs in the machine" perspective favors specialists over generalists. When your cogs are labelled very specifically to job function it's more akin to knowing the size/gearing of the cog and so being able to order up a new one. Sure, folks may like to think they just have everyone do everything but the reality is that everyone cannot and everyone does not have any desire to.
The labels are never the reality. I would also tend toward thinking specialists in tech are just always going to be hobbled a little. If no man is an island, no tech fails to be part of a very large contiguous landmass. A bit of knowledge of all its contours serving to make it far more navigable than the best river guide on the best of its rivers.
It takes all kinds though and while I think of myself as a generalist, I think some of my best output has come from working with people who may be better termed specialists.
