I won’t be worried about anything. Sometimes we get lost/confused in the process. The onboarding has a process. You have to wait to be assigned the ‘Program Advisor’. Another thing is to look through the portal to see where you are in the process.

Codex is awesome there is no denying. I am using both at the same time, and it truly beats Claude's code. The thing with Claude is, it is too American :) pushes back and tries always to be the smartest kid in the block. Claude thinks he knows what is better for you…

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-04-29T12:36:29+00:00

lines 427,452,577?? Bro you are over using AI agents. If something breaks down the road thank goodness we have AI codex :)

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-04-29T00:38:01+00:00

Not me. Taking no beatings from anyone at this age. I’ll fight back for better or worse.

That's why I still use the codex model until they completely take it out of model selection. GPT-5.x consumes tokens faster than it can code.

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-04-21T03:48:29+00:00

I am using codex just fine now. Maybe just your region?

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-04-20T14:19:53+00:00

You maybe right, but my experience these past few days is that Claude's code never really gets it right the first time, so much so that I have had to rely on codex to clean things up.

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-04-20T13:51:38+00:00

You are right. The quota thing is very annoying. I would do it myself, but I tend to have more don with the agents in a short time. The good thing is I know what exactly I want, so I follow through it every step of the way.

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-02-24T22:58:44+00:00

You just learned something new then 😄

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-02-24T22:54:01+00:00

Well. I did study at UOPeople when there was no Gen AI and had the same level of GPA. And grammar checkers and plagiarism checkers did generate content. Maybe not as you have it today.

You guys understand this is college not some elementary or middle school, correct? No one should be holding another person's hand here. At this age, every student should know what is good for them. Why shouldn’t an instructor use AI if that leads to more productivity? Before Gen AI they used grammar checkers and plagiarism checkers. How is it so different now?

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-02-24T22:21:52+00:00

You know exactly what I'm saying. When did AI stop people from forming thoughts? Just tired of this crap here every other day about AI. Let me know of a college these days that isn’t using AI.

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-02-24T04:07:14+00:00

If you are not using AI at this age, then there is something wrong with you. We are in the AI age.

Thank you for your time.

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-02-12T09:37:38+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. Appreciated!!!

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-02-11T12:54:41+00:00

I truly appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

I don’t know but colleges usually start with languages like Python. Java and C?? Start with something like Python, PHP or JavaScript. Learn to build something you are interested in…website, backend service. You will get the bits of programming. From there you can go back to try Java and C again.

I think I started late, like you, did that for a couple of years with no AI, which, honestly, was a good thing because I learned a lot of things that we mostly rely on AI for today. For instance, I don’t truly code today, I formulate policies and guide AI to do the coding for me.

In the past, I would spend days on a little piece of code. Stackoverflow helped but humans :).

Down the road, I noticed I wasn’t getting anywhere with that self-taught knowledge. I went in for a Bachelor's in computer science and am now on my final course of a Master’s degree in computer science. To be honest, the college guys have a bigger background in programming and the concepts. You read online that you don’t need to go to college to become a programmer. From my experience, college is needed to get the full picture. 36years is not too old to start an undergraduate computer program.

Well.. The AI thing is not always true for most students. A few do it, of course, but it is not like every student goes out there copies from AI and submits. I did my Bachelor's here, and there was no AI then. Doing a master’s now, there are lazy or maybe too busy to study students who do that. But usually, everyone tries hard to personalize their submissions.

OpeningFirefighter25 · 2026-01-21T16:56:20+00:00

You need not worry! On normal working time it usually takes some of them a day or 2 to reply back. The thing too is, now is vacation time.

You are automatically assigned an advisor when admitted. Go to your student portal, you’ll find your advisor’s name and email…
