Just curious what do you do? I'm thinking about moving away from data, maybe into something that is a little bit lower-level.

Java (+Kotlin) for Android, Python for its automation and tooling (and obviously, data.) These aren't very low-level - For Android there is always C++ if you want to go down to metal.

Ah that's interesting. And there is ofc Swift and ObjC for Apple devices. Maybe I should get into app dev.

Thanks. Do you think there is a strong market of Android/iOS native app development? As a DE I don't think my previous experience worths much -- maybe a bit more when we move to Flink which uses Java, and the might would rather hire new graduates instead of me.

I don't expect native mobile dev market to grow and was wondering how other disciplines like data is doing ;-)
