Reply to comment by nopainnogain5 in [D] To those of you who quit machine learning, what do you do now? by nopainnogain5

People can't do deep learning or AI without the tools to make them happen. Imagine how complicated the data collection methods at the scale of Terabytes of data and cleaning it. People also need to annotate data for it to work which requires software to get it done in a cost effective manner.

I agree with this. I used to do Machine Learning but shifted to working at an open-source company (Argilla), to be more involved with data quality instead of overfitting and building models without enough data.

How would you call your position? Is it software engineering / data engineering or yet something else?

It is more software engineering working on the core package and creating educational content (videos, presentations etc.) about getting from no data to a decent baseline model. Combining both, really helps to understand what people struggle with.
