Prestige and artificially pumping salaries. It’s all about brand building.

I don’t have an advanced degree, just a bachelors of math from 1995, and have been breadboarding (and more), and coding since the 80s

I can follow along with ML and have implemented toys with the ML algorithms in a couple days.

It’s bourgeois intellectualism. Like a law firm only hiring from Harvard

ML is automated schema design. And the current methodology has known limits of applicability

This is “Mongo DB”, “devops” like hype all over again.
