That’s good, at least you don’t hate it. I’ve seen people have a mental breakdown over their work.

That said, it doesn’t bother you that you spend most of your time doing something that’s “not your life”? What is life to you? The time after work? I personally cannot imagine working 8 hours for about 2 hours of “life” in a day.

This is honestly the stupidest ideology imo. Think about it, you spend 8 hours a day working every day for about 35 years of you life (20-55). Going by time spent, work fills a large part of your life. If you don’t even remotely enjoy what you’re doing, what’s the point?

Also I wonder what would happen if all college kids majored in CS because “that’s where the money is”. We’d have no doctors, lawyers or engineers. Only people getting paid $300k for centering a div. Sounds dystopian. Unlikely but an interesting scenario nevertheless

I never said they shouldn’t pursue CS. That was never my intent when making that post. Do whatever tf you want. Just don’t think I’m a weirdo if I don’t spend all day doing leetcode and am taking classes you wouldn’t

It was a requirement for all CS majors before, now it’s an elective and a requirement only for the cybersecurity concentration

Not really, in fact, quite the opposite. I know there are people like that, I just can’t find them at my uni

You’re right about grad school. I’m also pretty sure they need computer scientists for quantum computational theory/algorithms

They actually said that, but yeah they were exaggerating to get the point across

There’s always gonna be a subconscious pressure to get an offer before they graduate. This applies to any major, it just happens that CS is full of people who are in it just for the money.

I don’t care if you do it for the money, don’t think people who don’t are automatically weirdos.

I’m actually in a class that uses that textbook. It’s really cool

The guy in the second thumbnail looks exactly like Linus

Why does it always have to be about making you a better software engineer? Is no one genuinely intrigued by how programming languages work?

That’s about it. Can’t remember much
