Yet another thing from school I've never used in the software world. By the way, QAM is (still) used in 4G and 5G. | ||||||||

Some variation of QAM will always be used in communication. As soon as you deal in with EM-waves, be it physics, engineering or even biomedical stuff you will have to deal with complex numbers, which by extension is dealing with I/Q signals. You probably don't need this for programming a server or a website, but it's indispensable for signal processing. | ||||||||

Work on low-level software for communications, especially RF, and you will see plenty of this stuff. | ||||||||
