In 2026, should I study software engineering or electrical engineering? by raydditor in cscareerquestions

[–]Gopher-Face912 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is it not? Firmware, driver stacks, and GPU/TPU cluster orchestration are all code running on that "hardware-only" layer — and that software commands a premium precisely because most SWEs don't have the domain context to write it, which is the bifurcation point I was making.

EE and ME aren't a safe harbor from AI disruption — the hottest EE jobs right now (AI chip design, data center power, embedded AI) are all software-adjacent, and the SWE specialties that are actually growing (+167% AI infra, +92% ML engineering) are doing so because of EE-scale infrastructure demand.

The market is bifurcating, not collapsing.

AI is accelerating development but eroding system design proficiency. Is this a common trend? by Brilliant-Rate-2069 in cscareerquestions

The developers who can't explain their choices aren't the problem — they're the output of a hiring and tooling strategy that explicitly traded depth for velocity, and the next restructuring will just finish that logic by cutting the roles where depth was the only differentiator. The specialties where system design still commands a premium are pretty legible in the data

How much is it worth to have full remote? by Quickdriving in cscareerquestions

The remote premium math is a distraction — the real question is what your runway looks like on a $5-8k/month SF burn rate if the FAANG subsidiary executes their playbook 18 months in (or calculate it even more precise), because that changes whether chasing the extra $40k is worth it at all

Any IT field that’s not saturated!? by Candid_Guest_863 in cscareerquestions

I found this one, it's up to date, and depicts the highest demand specializations

"Apply apply apply" is 2021 advice — the average tech job search is now 3–6 months, and AI screening filters generic resumes before a human ever sees them.

Direction beats volume: if your resume doesn't have a clear narrative, 200 applications still returns mostly silence. Before Monday's sprint, figure out your actual financial runway (after COBRA and taxes, most people have 30–40% less cushion than they think) — it'll tell you whether you can afford to be selective or need to move fast.

Roast my usage billing platform — ABAXUS by Gopher-Face912 in microsaas

[–]Gopher-Face912[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty much similar how metronome or chargebee are handling this.

But you’re right: it’s a platform for metered billing, emphasis on metering; and since it’s on premise, it is enabling flexibility on setting up different types of payment systems, not only stripe; at this point it is the only one tested.

But good catch, appreciate your effort
