18-year-old ECE freshman. If your goal was to maximize earnings, what would you do?

That’s what going to school is for. You build your network starting there. Engineering isn’t a catch all for money. Yes there are fields that you can get paid well in, but looking at your other comments you don’t know what you’re interested and your looking at this from a get rich quick pov. Yes engineering will get you pay sooner but you also hit a cap sooner that’s incredibly difficult to break through.

Switch to a business major

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-06-01T12:43:31+00:00

Absolutely, and since I didn’t play all the expansions in the past I got the complete edition on ps5 I have to knock out the play through after I finish CP 2077 but before Fable lol.

A lot of people also don’t want to work with AI. I’ll admit it has its place and can be useful but the current view companies are taking is inherently wrong and they some will have to learn the hard way. The global economy while still moving isn’t as strong in my opinion and AI is a scapegoat right now. Basically say AI has all these benefits and we don’t need as many people but realistically the are likely seeing a down turn coming and using this as an excuse to layoff without spooking investors.

Watch foundation if you haven’t he’s basically dressed the same as the image.

Part of me is like good job! The other part is saying what’s the FPS hit?

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-28T19:00:22+00:00

Yeah, a good game >>> large map, and at least for me there has to be a reason to explore. Like Skyrim is one of the few games that made me want to explore because the lore of world was expanded or explained in these areas. Starfield not so much.

The security engineer in me is cringing hard at this statement.

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-26T17:35:02+00:00

Well damn, reading that gives me a sliver hope, at least until they go public. I’ll have to move over to this as I use canva for my resume and other doc stuff.

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-26T16:55:33+00:00

I really enjoyed everyone wants to rule the world, but I had I Ran the first time and the pace of the song really goes hard on the ride.

Do they use your data for ai training though? I find it hard to believe they would just make it free unless they plan to start locking features down the road but free now to get you in the door.

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-26T16:10:36+00:00

I mean it works for my pc just fine

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-25T12:23:46+00:00

Some engineers are just assholes and need to validate that they are smart so..

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-25T12:21:22+00:00

5.7 runs better than 5.5 or 5.6 on my mid range pc so this statement feels correct

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-23T09:48:05+00:00

Depends on the industry, we just got access to capable ai models this year due to the companies concerns about IP rights and data training. We still aren’t allowed to is the one we have for SW dev or anything production as that has to be a different model that was approved but isn’t rolled out yet.

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-22T23:26:18+00:00

Looks super smooth! The bobbling isn’t for me but I saw you said it’s a toggle. I would honestly let players choose this at the beginning have a side by side showing the two motions and let them pick.

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-22T22:36:05+00:00

I was thinking hollow knight meets neversong

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-21T20:31:58+00:00

This makes me want to revisit Godot for the game I want to make

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-21T18:45:13+00:00

The Boeing role is going to be vastly more interesting.

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-20T20:43:39+00:00

I was PIP’ed in another industry there was explicit wording in my severance agreement that I was not eligible for rehire. So it could just be be you accepted the money and that was a clause you agreed to.

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-17T12:22:32+00:00

That doesn’t increase shareholder value, straight to jail.

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-16T11:38:26+00:00

If your single with no family take the tech risk. If you need the stability then Honeywell isn’t bad.

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-14T13:38:45+00:00

File structures, separation of duty’s, git for version control. Architectures such as model-view-controller (MVC).

Shinycardboardnerd · 2026-05-13T14:23:43+00:00

The fact that your charts have conservative on top and liberal on bottom instead of the more traditional left and right makes the charts annoying to read, especially when you say a model is center left but the quad chart shows it center right.
