CS is an ever learning degree

[Jason Voorhees]

yeah probably well over a mil even. fuck, are we just clowns??

Wageslaves but I'm just going to cope calling them micro celebrities with their own niche that they grew

im out here creating robot-controlling algorithms, simulations and shit (new hobby project) meanwhile a nigga films himself talking about being up for 3 days and makes 13 times as much as i do

One thing I’ve realized after grinding in CS for a few years it’s nothing like mech or civilbwhere the learning curve flattens out post-grad. In CS, you’re never done leveling up and learning.

Tech sprints forward at warp speed new frameworks, languages, architectures, and paradigms drop every year. Your degree is nothing more than a fancy ticket for networking and opening doors, but it won’t hand you real world skills on a platter. Top schools like Harvard or Stanford still teach HCI or compiler design with legacy systems, and DevOps tooling is barely on the radar in most curricula. Academia can’t keep up with the meta shift, so you HAVE to self-teach via side projects, bootcamps, workshops, or hackathons.

Employment gaps are a more or less a death sentence in this field. recruiters smell stagnation from a mile away.Compare that to mech or civil master thermodynamics or structural design once, and those principles hold for decades In CS, fundamentals are just the start You gotta keep stacking skills non stop.

That’s the double edged sword it's fun when you’re in the flow, but draining if you’re not obsessed. I've seen grads from elite unis flop hard if they coasted on lectures without grinding personal projects or open-source. You need to *love computers and eat problem-solving for breakfast. If that’s not your vibe, you’ll burn out fast and regret it. I've seen many casuals come into CS and fail to get jobs and do well because they were in it only for the money. There is huge money to be made ofc. But that comes with large asterisk

I actually can't fathom how people want to spend the rest of their lives being a code monkey, bouncing from niche framework to niche framework, all to just get replaced by cheap labor + ai. The math/research side of CS seems to be the future; LLMs will make all these tools/systems irrelevant in a couple years, and coding will be fully abstracted.

idk if ML is your thing, but autonomous robots are really cool. especially since you can try iterating various robot designs and algorithms in things in nvidia isaac nowadays.

I've been hearing this BS since atleast 4 years btw @mvpisafaggot420

yeah but even to be a programmer not just a coder, you have to keep learning new things. whats your point even lol

honestly i think all programmers are happy that coding is becoming less important. me personally, i always disliked typing away in neovim like a retard

Same. feels like we're finally moving toward the stage where devs can focus more on logic, architecture, and creativity instead of syntax shit or boilerplate. It has made my workflow way more enjoyable tbh.

Whether or not it will happen in 2 years, 3 years, or 5 years, it will happen. I'm not suggesting CS people will be made irrelevant, just the nature of their work will shift, as it already has. Lateral thinking will be rewarded along with intense vertical depth. Knowing some random framework that LLM can pick up in 3 seconds will not.

same. ive been enjoying it a lot. im usually running like 4 claude code instances at once

 

[Lightskin Ethnic]

There's already a guy who did that actually. Hashtaggollu @Lightskin Ethnic

Thr Hindi market is over tbh
Its filled with Hindi MTN looksmaxxing creators and Chadtag is a Shark
I used to have a channel too

But then now only i do reels for SMV boost

I think I can do a Bengali version tbh
Its untapped and Bengalis are also good in number

same for most other engineers and servants

i used to be obsessed but that ai complacency is getting to me and agents only making it worse

Used to do python for a few years was ok wished I studied harder ngl
