I wouldn't pay too much attention to the market. If the market did
technical things always right, we wouldn't have PHP, nor Facebook, nor
Apple.

Art and the humanities* constitute a real value to society and,
moreover, a value that will last much longer than the industrial value
of a piece of software. And programming is an art.

*In this context, pure maths shall count to the humanities.
