When asked how he addresses difficult and complex challenges, Microsoft founder Bill Gates replied, “I will always choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” Gates’ advice seems counterintuitive regarding the difficult and complex challenges data engineers will face in 2025.
