Ask HN: What field have you combined with C.S.?

13 points

Tim Ferris made a recent video answering the question on whether someone should specialize or generalize (tldr: combine the two) [0]

What field have you combined with computer science to produce a niche value to some business (be it your own, or as an employee)?

An example would be neurology and AI. Knowledge in both fields can be combined to push the envelope in a new way, that each singly wouldn’t otherwise be able to.

This question comes after thinking how I can increase my ‘market value’ now, in case the standard full stack web developer becomes more automated, or some squeeze occurs in the next 5-10 years.
