In the age of agentic programming and the ever increasing pressure to ship faster, I'm afraid this kind of knowledge will become more and more fringe, even moreso than it is today. Who has the time to think through the intricacies of parallel data structures? Clearly we'll just throw more hardware at problems, write yet another service/api/http endpoint and move on to the next hype. The LLM figures out the algorithms and we soon lose the skills to develop new ones. And tell each other the scifi BS myth that "AI" will invent new data structures in the future so we don't even beed humans in the loop.
