>>107797772i won't lie, i have an average IQ and i didn't do so well in my first semester of CS. there's no way i can compete.should i just become a diesel mechanic or do something in agriculture at this point?
gigatruthnuke: cs != software engineering
>>107797772There’s big tobacco, big tech, now big lottery.
>>107797798first few semesters are full of weeder classes. plenty of retards graduate CS. just keep going.
>>107797887theory of computation was a senior weedout class in my program
KYS.
>>107797772it's not a POV
>>107797772that's not how pov works. unless you are the person watching someone else farming diamond meaning computer science is useless and you should get the same job as the guy mining diamonds
>>107797798Companies are caring less and less about how good you did in classes and much more on whether you've done stuff outside of classes.Make a dumb app or something that you think you might use, and throw it online to see.
>>107797798>i have an average IQthis doesn't mean what you think it means
>>107797772I don't get it.
>>107797772Doesn't it take the average CS grad like 2 years to find a job now? I can't think of a worse major than CS in 2026. Even art school is a better investment at this point.
>>107798720If you don't lie it's gonna take you ages to find a job
>>107798131>Companies are caring less and less about how good you did in classes and much more on whether you've done stuff outside of classes.This shit goes in cycles. Before dotcom crash degree mattered. People assumed qualifications = smart. After dotcom new companies were forming from the people who made bank during the boom who knew what retards CS courses were churning out and wanted bros with demonstrable skills.Then HR roasties took over hiring and then you couldn't get an interview without all the box ticking bullshit. But now everyone is being laid off to make companies look less insolvent and it's the people with actual skills being hired now and not the "I went to university so I should get" types.
>>107798289u are gonna be rich
>>107798115In a video game it is how it worksPic relPOV: You are in a side scroller
>>107799079Fuark!
>>107798131No company knows how good you did, grades are not public record.
>>107799257Yeah, but I know...
>>107798064normies don't know what POV means
>>107799257hello jeet. white men actually respect academic integrity >tfw graduated with 2.2 GPA but at least didn’t cheat like a jeet
>>107797772it's a dead field. investment bankers are the one making out like bandits.
You would be much better off getting a mechanical engineering / robotics / mechatronics degree and minoring / diy learning CS.Pure software development is completely oversaturated field and dead af. Any degree is better than nothing I guess.>>107799460>I'm a brainlet who squeaks byI don't think this post is giving the effect you wanted
>>107797772>featuring Mylo Steamwitz
>>107798064The pov is watching someone else mine diamonds
>>107799464eventually the parasite kills the host however.
>>107799464>IBdon't quants make a lot more
>>107799540>tfw in masters program in “computer science and software engineering”its fucking over me. i should’ve went in to EE with specialization in embedded systems instead
>>107799540If AI keeps progressing at this rate then just knowledge of algorithms and practice will get you where you need to go.
>>107798726I'm too autistic to lie.
>>107799638it's honestly lonely getting fluoride stares from the jeets and the midwits when trying to explain an algorithm's complexity with big O lingo. it's like they never sat down for fucking two hours to learn critical fundamentals
>>107798289He's going to die. A pickaxe will never get through a solid wall of diamond and he'll shortly run out of air.
>>107799983If it's a diamond pickaxe the wall will shatter from harmonic infetterence
>>107800060Not before his wrists do.
>>107800184Where are all the broken wrists from mining diamonds? With this logic keyboards are harder than diamonds as it gives people carpal tunnel syndrome
>>107800253Well they're not here since they can't use their hands, duuuuh.
>>107800268Good point, but there's more wrist injuries from keyboards than diamonds and diamonds are much harder than anything keyboards are made from these days. Compare 2 keyboards crashing together vs 2 walls of diamond, obviously the keyboards are a weaker plastic compared to a harder metal
>>107797772In what country/territory is this true? Because the job market is pretty poor here, and I've heard it's also poor in the US which makes me wonder where the hell it's good at. India?
selling kebab is more profitable
>>107800421I think I’m India it’s getting better but still terrible. You know how India is basically infinite pool of workers who are all educated? That implies that there is a massive pool of educated but underemployed people waiting for US companies to hire them, so the job market is pretty bad is what I am trying to say.
>>107799230>Fuark!why do I only see people say this word on 4chan?
>>107800388There are more keyboard users than there are diamond miners.
>>107801051I only see it in csm and jjk threads
>>107797772I chose software engineering in 2019 and I don't feel this at all. I'm still unemployed.
>>107800421The "computer science" aka. codemonkey major is still a burgeoning market in my semi-developed economy
>>107797819Truth. I was interested in CS but it turned out I was too autistic to write papers so I got stuck in SE and I hate it.Turn out that just because you love reading and learning about it doesn't mean you can be a useful addition to the field.
>>107799464>makes twice your salary while working 3 times us much as you do
>>107797772then nobody fucking hires you
My boomer coworkers have been doing this 20 years obviously have LLM brainrot and by not using LLMs and writing all my code myself I'm starting to leapfrog them because I think every day instead of opening untested LLM PRs
>>107797772I assume the joke is that the image is AI generated
>>107801051The /dbs/ colony spreads
>>107797798some cs programs are quite tough. ours had a course "great ideas in theoretical computer science" that was great at filtering out kids that weren't serious or got in through affirmative action (funnily enough, white women got filtered the hardest.) the os course was also quite tough.
>>107797772>massive layoffs due to AI>juniors can't get a job for years, meaning no seniors, meaning in a few years everything will be written by clueless prompt engineers because business didn't see the immediate need to promote or even hire juniors>the job of a senior now is supervising AI agents and reviewing AI slop>all jobs requiring any kind of coding or scientific reasoning are fully automated in a few years, CS and SE along with scientific fields collapseYep, sure is a great way to get into a dying field.
>>107805117>>107802869No. /fit/ has rightful claim to it. Long live Zyzz.
>>107797798The number of available jobs is definitely shrinking, likely permanently. It's a bloodbath. Literally the worst time possible to get into CS.
>>107797772replace the diamond pickaxe with a wooden spoon and cover 95% of the underground with dirt than its true
