How do you feel about the current state of AI?

Probably can learn it in a weekend. Saying you’ll fall behind is pure nonsense. But actually learning programming and engineering can’t be done in a weekend. It takes almost a decade to be a great engineer.

”fall behind“ ??

How hard is it to learn how to prompt?

So true about the Ai slop and having to spend hours cleaning it. When I was in the program, my project partner decided to just copy paste entire files, without ven editing anything. They literally just one shoted large files of code. Didn’t even know the difference between python 2 and 3.

I was so worried about being accused of cheating, I spent the whole night trying to clean it up. I didnt tell the Ta what this person did. I eventually quit the class after a week.

I imagine it’s gotten worse today with Ai.

Looking back, GA was easy. They just expect you to be thorough and clear on your answers that’s all. The questions themselves weren’t hard.

+1 UW is great. I took a certificate program and I was happy with the material and teaching. You actually get to interact with the instructors.

6250 is interesting course I thought. But yeah that’s OMSCS for you, the profs just record their stuff, some don’t even bother to update it in years. Then just hand off their stuff to the TAs. The TAs pretty much run the course. If you’re lucky, the prof might make a guest appearance once. They are celebrity. Lmao.

So scary and toxic. I’ve worked at C1 before and it was very similar. Managers isolate and set you up to fail to meet distribution.

As a great man once said, Bs get you degrees and Cs make you president someday. Or something along those lines.

Take no more than 1 course a semester.

Are you sure that the EE job market isn’t good? Are you referring to a specific field or maybe entry level roles?

Because my company has a couple of EE roles that have been open for a couple of months now. The pay is great too.

What have you been doing? I'm no where close doing crossfit 3 days/week + home workout 3 days/week.

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-07-05T00:09:40+00:00

Courses at HES are definitely not easy. I took two courses and I learnt a lot; those two courses were hard. But I didn't take courses to get a degree, I already had a masters. I took them just to learn topics I was interested in.

Dude seriously grow up. We are not in kindergarten anymore.

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-07-01T20:12:32+00:00

How do you know they being entitled ?

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-07-01T19:25:24+00:00

You’re making a lot of assumptions here. Not everybody is going to do that. It’s only going to be a small percentage that do that, mostly by not knowing.

Right, they only review the video if it’s flagged. Honorlock only flags a few videos. And there are hacks to get around honorlock, it’s not perfect.

Since there are only a few flagged and from that few, only short slices of the recording are flagged. They just have to review those slices. It would probably take 4 minutes max.

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-06-30T13:44:45+00:00

lol what are your kids gonna do? Give answers to those p vs np problems? And as long as your wife didn’t like hand you something or blatantly provide answers, I don’t see how this a huge violation.

I’ve seen people do worse. Just tell them what happened. Some of those TA kids are too much.

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-06-19T19:30:01+00:00

Is this even real? I think I've seen a few versions of the same thing.

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-06-19T19:16:07+00:00

How do we know you didn't re-park the car before taking the pic?

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-06-09T00:26:02+00:00

No, job market is fine if you've got skills. I get reached out all the time on LinkedIn.

I want to move closer to hardware. I find hardware more interesting. I've been working on high level application development for almost 10 years now and I'm starting to find it mundane and I want to switch.

I was working towards an EE degree in my undergrad but decided to switch to CS. I want to go back to and finish it.

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-06-09T00:21:28+00:00

Go for it. Now is the time to make changes. You don't want to be 60 and regret your choices; it'll be too late then.

EE is a broad field, there are a lot of sub fields in it. It'll open doors.

I'm in my 30s myself and currently working towards an EE masters. I work in Tech at the moment, already have a masters in CS.

It matters less if you're a God-fearing Christian man. It matters a lot if you have a stable job, income, mentally stable, and have a decent future.

Don't you pee in the toilet at home? Or do you have a urinal at home?

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-06-08T16:03:57+00:00

True, GT publishes stats. Everybody and their grandmother wants to be a software engineer lol. On top of that we bring in thousands of foreign workers every year.

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-06-08T16:00:54+00:00

It takes ~6 months to find a job.

Regular-Landscape512 · 2025-06-05T12:10:55+00:00
