Middle-skill computing work is an emerging theme in my research to describe the kinds of work and jobs in computing that are not always considered "computing jobs". Doing this work doesn't require theoretical CS knowledge, and the jobs tend to be in $40-100k USD salary range. I think "middle-skill computing work" has significant promise for increasing access to computing careers, and I'd love to talk with more people about this idea.| Lara Karki
