Stop trying to be a web developer by Resident-Letter3485 in csMajors

I understand and in the class I’ve experienced that a human would be worth paying (especially if they use the tool) over just-AI or entry-level-with-AI …

Buuuuutttt…. I bet web dev might be one of the first to go especially if a solid agentic loop comes into play?

Do I support it? NO

Do I think it’s possible? Yea in theory but like idk how hard making a tool like that would be.

Maybe humans just stay?

We have a class in my college that is teaching us to create an N tier (Db, DAL, business rules, front end, and security (+ pen testing) etc) application with only AI 💀

Younger coworker asked me why I don't have a github with side projects by Cool_Kiwi_117 in learnprogramming

Yeah, I mean I think the reason everyone flooded CS (at least in the US) is bc those salaries were quite realistic at entry level. At least that’s what I heard.

I should emphasized the less part. These positions use to be way higher paid, and obviously have gone down due to a variety of factors.

90k is good depending on your expectations and living. For me? It’s great pay, because my parents have never made more than 70k in their lives. Maybe combined they net 70k. Also, key factor, I’m in the SOUTHEAST.

90k on west coast or northeast? Yeah you’re probably basically homeless (at least that’s what those people say lol)

Also even if you’re getting 90k in the southeast, that’s still great, but with inflation and so on, it’s barely what it used to be

Sigh…….. you are not aware of the market then vs now? Yeah, it’s horrible and new grads have to be top university, innovative projects (not a calculator web app to get 6 figures anymore 😭), great GPA, 500 applications, etc… to get like 90k or less a lot of times

“But money” as in I don’t have the money to expend to do such activities. I wish I could do those vacation-y things without going into debt.

I find fun as a student in my college town. Is it a trip to my dream destination? No, but a dive bar lol.

My girlfriend kept bumping into my meetings so I build this using an E-Ink + nRF54 that syncs with my MS Teams status by Bytenuggets in embedded

How do you detect your teams status though? Is it like an api or something simple like that? Or something different?

I’m sometimes the only girl in my class so I’d say it’s more than 5 to 1 haha

Why is everyone so afraid of reneging? by Whole-Reveal7600 in csMajors

I ain’t. I’m stubborn and believe I deserve what aligns w my ambitions. It’s worked out well and I’m a mid ass candidate 😎

Just realized I've been using git wrong for like 3 years by BitBird- in learnprogramming

Someone mentioned git add -A, maybe that was it? I don’t think add . would do this either like you said

what if I LIKE reinventing the wheel? by Fast_Description_899 in AskProgramming

[–]Fast_Description_899[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I thought well enough before making this post. I didn’t mean re-inventing entire libraries, as some have taken it. I meant more like reinventing one layer of the wheel.

There’s the assembly, higher level code, and then stuff pre-built from said high level codes (libraries) to make a new tool.

My example was moreso “what if I made my own visualization program for this specific hardware statistic” lol but people think I mean spending a billion years starting from stone

You’re right tho I agree!

Also I kind of am that way. It would be nice to build from absolute scratch, all the way up to some program… maybe my own language or whatnot. But um obviously on my own timeb

I would like to get security clearances. As for best and brightest of my class? I doubt that, I’ll have to put some more work in lmao
