Quick follow-up. If you look at front-end web development toolkits these days, it's a good example of why there is a need for someone with a solid general development background that has an interest in the field.

I'm sure a lot of ML specialists are good coders, but they don't have a lifetime of experience in building production level software. Left to their own devices, they are going to be forced to re-invent the wheel over and over again, wasting time on over-engineered and under-utilized tools. There's value in being the guy who understands ML, and understands development but isn't an expert in linear algebra. There isn't a giant market for people like that at this point, but there is a market.
