Computer Science cels GTFIH

[esrgan]

I need some help building compilers and applying for such jobs. I'm planning a domain switch. AI will take my job next year so i'm planning to get into low level programming such as compilers, CUDA, LLVM MLIR. I need a bit of guidance from a high GPAcel if there are any. Any sort of insight is appreciated

fuck you quit everything and give up

nigga make a YouTube channel asap to complain about AI when it does

Ppl will be in support and ur shit will probably blow up for being one of the firsts

fuck you nigga. I work in tech i'm just taking preemptive action

gonna keep it a buck with u that specific niche is more competitive than a basic swe role

Did you read bigger parts of TCPIP Illustrated, Operating Systems Three Easy Pieces, Inside the Machine, Designing data-intensive applications or similar books, and retained at least 20-30%? By doing some work with related things?

And then advanced or mastery book on at least 1 programming language including concurrency?

there's literally a million blogs and tutorials on how to build a compiler. and easier than ever before now to ask questions to LLMs if you dont understand something, rather than waiting hours/days for a response on StackOverflow, in turn getting told the question youre asking is stupid and get downvoted.

why would you want to do this though? you're better off developing/expanding your knowledge base and skills in the field you're already working in (unless it's frontend, then it really is over for you in a couple years). AI is nowhere near good enough yet to replace human SWEs. https://futurism.com/openai-researchers-coding-fail

there are now diffusion transformers popping up. And then there's the 500B investment project stargate. Personally, i don't care too much about ai not being able to solve codeforces problems. If it can generate a crud application within minutes, i'm fucked. Claude 3.7 can already do this btw

I remember some chunks. About buses, dma controllers, semaphores, mutexes how processes are forked etc. And i remember a bit of computer networks as well. But i've got the dino book for operating systems which i'll start reading immediately and then read inside the machine.

My only question is, is a domain switch a good idea. Is this domain too hard and too competitive. I'm already planning a masters degree so i'll get another chance to relearn these subjects in depth.

i know but i'll get replaced in another 4 years and then it'll be too late to make switch. There a lot of discrimination against oldcels in tech

Here's the thing, i mostly work on java, sql and js. Its fucking digusting. But what i'm actually worried about is the agentic abilities of ai. This thing will soon be able to deploy artifactory or whatever into clusters.


Another thing is that, it will increase rapid prototyping and code will become a use and throw kinda thing. Most of the framework code is way too bloated and it will directly generate raw js or even raw c++ code (which will certainly not be human readable). This will be done to improve performance and because how cheap inference will be.


EXCEPT for low level code like drivers, os and compilers. Which is why i want to make the domain switch before i become an oldcel
