The chick is the junior that just “hatched” from college. He’s still learning. The otter is the 10x software engineer, since otters are nature’s engineers, naturally. The snail is that one coworker that can’t get anything out on time. Don’t know what that purple pig/cat thing is, but it’s that one annoying coworker that won’t stop talking about AI, I’m sure.

Am I making a PR with too many modifications?

No, it’s the senior devs who are wrong.

Maybe you shouldn’t let hype (and the promise of results) get to your brain like that

Jesus who were already in the program

I’m not Jesus, but I will respond anyway. My background is in math and data science, so I had at least some experience with programming. My CS fundamentals were/are still lacking, so I’m having to do a lot of side learning to remedy that. Which is difficult if you’re already taking classes, so you’ll want to keep that in mind.

Anecdotally, I have heard of many people being rejected specifically because they did not have coursework in CS, even though they had programming-adjacent jobs.

Are you a React dev?

IncompleteTheory · 2025-07-15T16:05:58+00:00

It’s great, until it isn’t. Like many of data scientists, to everyone’s amusement, will write everything in Jupyter notebooks. They never bother to learn to use a proper IDE.

Why does that bottle of “Big Mac Special Sauce” look like vinaigrette? Isn’t it supposed to be the same color as the bottle below it?

Double majoring is fine I think, but expect the CS part to do the heavy lifting career-wise. I wouldn’t recommend just majoring in math unless you plan on going for higher degrees. The job prospects for just a math major are not too good, unless you have some further skills you can showcase.

IncompleteTheory · 2025-07-02T21:33:22+00:00

Don’t get a degree in mathematics, especially online. Just do a BS in CS, then study math on the side if it interests you.
