How could software development skills be useful within the context of permaculture?

I’m considering studying software development. I’m also very drawn to permaculture and the broader earth care/people care/fair share ethos, and I’m curious about how these could potentially overlap.

I’m not really asking for career guidance or any specific advice here, I’m mainly just interested in hearing people’s perspectives on the subject. What kinds of problems exist within the permaculture community that someone in software development could actually help with? How could these skills potentially be useful on one’s own permaculture property? Any thoughts are appreciated. I’m just exploring and getting some ideas about what’s possible.

I should note that I am not necessarily thinking about this within the context of having a tech-related career. I am also curious about anything from contributing to open source projects to simply getting into programming as a hobby and creating practical and useful tools, etc.
