Software engineering, data, visualization and systems. Occasional art things.
Absolutely this. Slightly tangential, but reminds me of an old @dsquareddigest.bsky.social post on the value of arts degrees, pointing out that only a few are very successful but impossible to work out who this is going to be beforehand and so need sufficient throughput in the system.
