Ask HN: Where do you see the future of computer science jobs?

As a classical Backend Web Developer I am a little bit worried about my field. Sure things are looking fine right now and there will always be some jobs in maintaining legacy PHP systems. Still wont hurt to keep my eyes open, right? The classical Web is slowly dying. Lot's of people managed to transition into native App development for Android and iOS but how long will it last? Sure all the marketing people think that everyone and their dogs need an app to be trendy but do they really? Are people not sick of having to install another app? Isn't Facebook and Instagram all they care about? AI is currently at the top of another hype cycle. It might have lasting staying power and real world applications this time. Heck it might even be able to avoid another AI winter but how will the churn of thousands of boot camp students chasing the next big thing effect the job market in the long term? Personally I am really interested in Data Science so would be interesting to hear more about people working in this field. I heard it is a lot about cleaning up data which is something I actually like to do. Lot's of people are trying to get into the field though. So what do you guys think? What are the best skills to learn to be ready for the future?
