Is CS really as fucked up as people make it out to be?
>>33837479Artificial Intelligence made it obsolete. Even before that it was satured because of jeets. Their number increased the supply of workers in the field which caused salaries to go down too. Study it if it's a passion of yours, not if you're looking for a job or money.
>>33837479Not that bad. But you need to maximize your chances like other normal majors. As in:- do well in classes- make the right friends- internships every summer- work on your social/communication skill - work on your appearance- too much online presence is a bad thing imo (youtube, instagram, github/HN/etc. arguments)- practice programming interviews- quit 4chan
>>33837506>too much online presence is a bad thing imoi would say just model it after your favorite professor. i had a really cool and well-achieved prof for a rep theory course who was big on stackexchange, so i started posting there and lo and behold it genuinely helped me master material.>>33837479maybe if you pair it with something else/pursue applications of CS in some other field for a grad degree. people can still make six figures working for some big tech company, it's just becoming increasingly risky to do so.
>>33837506>Artificial Intelligenceno such thing
>>33838999cope dumbass fucking jeet fucking dumbass nigger fucking retard
>>33837479its not like theres no more programmer workthey're just firing 90% of them
>>33837479its still a quality undergrad major to have , it generally ranks as a major with the one of the least regrets but Im not sure if thats cause of career OR people in this space are passionate to begin with. It's still incredibly tough if you go to a quality school and STILL opens you up to a masters in any hard stem of your choice like Masters in Eng if u do good or even pivot into health (ive seen comp sci majors get into law , med school etc) Don't fall for the hype - the memes say everyone took comp sci , what they didn't say is how many people finished either, average 4th year comp sci classes are tiiiiny usually unless this is clown college. Everyone starts taking it but gets filtered by year 2 or 3 If you're in school and have to take SOMETHING , its not bad at all. Now if you have a choice or could pivot into trades or something more practical - if your heart is not in it and you are just here for the money , yeah the gravy train is all gone unless you're seriously gifted or connected - it would be MILES better to get into something like nursing, policing, etc things that require your social skills and you'll average out into a healthy human being with interests, a union, good pay, etc
>>33839068anyone left should really be here for the love of the game. You can build epic projects with new friends, scale / the entrepreneurial dream is arguably still the most alive ONLY in tech , everything else needs insane start up capital, and computers ARE everywhere - they fuckin going anywhere and Gemini just the other day made a major blunder on a BASIC code file I was working on, this shit is not perfect. BUT tech is full of weakling snakes and all kinds of office politics too. With regular office jobs , there's some basic honor IN sociability - in tech , all that gets thrown out the window.
>>33837479if you have a goal that CS is on the path of, then you will still benefit.but in other cases if your end goal is a profession IN cs, you've got lots of competitive pressures that work against you.
>>33837479Yes, and it has ben for at least 10 years because every single college student in the world was studying it
