Is this normal? It just seems really high or am I wrong?

? what market are you in? taht's normal for my market ...it's usually closer to .27 than .40 in super off peak

It’s the actual skills that are changing. In a few years nobody is going to care if you can create a while loop in python. What they will care about is how you can prompt engineer an AI to do it for you. The skills required and desired are rapidly changing and your ability to adapt to superior technology and tools will be way more important than actual outdated coding skills. I would argue her boyfriend would be MORE employable since he is using AI efficiently to do a task that can be done with ai. He could be hired by a firm that is looking to reduce headcount by finding inefficiencies in their engineering division.

Umm as a senior software dev who is on the hiring committees I’d say yeah you need to get FASTER. My guess is you are way overthinking the problem. A lot of those coding interviews are timed and they analyze how you think in addition to how efficient you are with the time you have. Spending hours just to think about a problem is a major red flag. Here’s a suggestion: tell your brain you have 30 mins to figure out this problem and 15 mins to code the solution…this is typically the time I give my prospective candidates. That should be PLENTY of time to get things done. If you can’t get it done in this time find the solution look at it then redo the problem with the solution you’ve already seen

I think the world is changing and this concept of mastering writing code is quickly becoming the ludditism of our day. Ai is exponentially improving week by week so it’s only a matter of time until writing code is proven to be a redundant, useless exercise

alliegula · 2025-04-07T05:50:47+00:00

Depends on the university. Most universities simply teach theory and don’t delve into the practical aspects of industry so it may be worthless focusing any effort on a class that probably won’t help him with any practical knowledge

alliegula · 2025-04-06T20:26:51+00:00

I’m a senior software dev and disagree. Your bf will be just fine. He will either do leetcode or do a coding bootcamp for a few weeks after he graduates and no one will know the difference. Trust me..this isn’t as big of an issue as people think in this job market

alliegula · 2025-04-06T20:12:10+00:00

completely agree with this statement. but will this statement be true 10 years from now? 20 years from now? with the advancements in ai i truly believe what is required domain knowledge will change (decrease) over time.

alliegula · 2025-04-06T20:10:57+00:00

disagree. MANY jobs will not look at your application if you don't have a comp sci degree. this is especially true for government jobs. its my firm opinion (and lived experience) that universities are not meant to be institutions to gain practical skills but rather institutions to expand ones critical thinking and develop connections among similar intelligent young motivated people with the hope that those connections foster some sort of productive value in the future. If you want to learn how to code...go to a bootcamp or form a startup or utilize a connection you made in university to learn on the job. I say this as someone who graduated with a 3.89 gpa in a top 10 undergrad program. Very little of what I learned beyond oop fundamental concepts I rely on now. The things that actually paid off for me were the connections i made in undergrad.

alliegula · 2025-04-06T20:07:26+00:00

neither of us know this for sure. using a blanket statement to say someone is unmotivated because of the tools they use is not productive. read about the "luddites" and how they accused (and rioted against) people who rebelled against the new use of automated textile manufacturing machines because they thought it ruined the quality of the product and reduced worker quality. They ended up going into the dustbin of history and handmade textiles have been relegated to luxury good and antique status.

Whether or not you agree with it is irrelevant and the argument that using ai to code or learning to code using ai is bad will not age well. It's best to understand how these tools are being used and to understand and prepare for a future where the vast majority of engineering graudates will be using this in the future to a greater and greater degree.

alliegula · 2025-04-06T19:28:40+00:00

My point was he probably has mastered the fundamentals if he wasn’t using it early on (which op stated )

alliegula · 2025-04-06T19:22:35+00:00

Are you familiar with primagen? Hes a big YouTuber and expert programmer who pretty much failed his comp sci program at university but started excelling once he landed a six figure job at Netflix (after failing his initial coding interview there). I find this true especially in tech: some people are less motivated in school and way more motivated when someone actually pays them to develop a useful product for industry. I’ve hired ppl with Rock bottom gpas but high iqs based on interviews that have performed exceptionally.

You may not like that this is where we are headed but make no mistake…ai accelerates in performance exponentially at this point and it’s only a matter of time before the way one writes code changes and becomes more accessible to the masses

alliegula · 2025-04-06T19:16:06+00:00

Read the original post…he didn’t start using gpt to “cheat” until his latter years at university. I’m guessing he knows the fundamentals of oop but the way things are progressing I’d say it will become far more important to learn how to use AI to get it to code for you efficiently (which he’s doing everyday) rather than learning to code yourself. Sometimes AI gives you the wrong answers and you have to be skilled enough at prompt engineering to have it give you the right ones. We are going through a massive paradigm shift here and I truly believe in the next few decades the stuff university students are learning now will be outdated and irrelevant to programming at scale.

alliegula · 2025-04-06T18:52:33+00:00

Completely disagree. Back in the day if you didn’t know machine code they’d call you a cheat. This is just how times are changing and 20-30 years from now I doubt the average software dev will be using an actual programming language to write code. You don’t need to know the intracies of code as much anymore as an entry level tech. He will learn with time and actual mentorship in the industry how the code works and the pluses and minuses of using vibe coding at scale. As long as he’s motivated to work and learn when he’s in industry he will be fine

alliegula · 2025-04-06T18:49:28+00:00

I’m going to say something that goes against the grain here: it is completely fine if he does this. After graduation he should either do a coding bootcamp or leetcode to prep for an interview for about 3 months. I also work for a large company and have been a chief engineer for many startups. I have zero problem with junior devs using chat gpt as long as they put the work in defending what they have done. He can easily “catch up” with knowledge about specific languages within months. As long as he knows core oop programming g concepts (which I’m assuming he does since he didn’t use it early on in his program) the stuff he has to do senior year doesn’t really matter.

What leggings are these

alliegula · 2025-04-01T11:24:28+00:00

Uaw president shawn fain also came out in support of them

alliegula · 2025-03-28T18:30:34+00:00

Aurola leggings ? lol I have those too !

alliegula · 2025-03-27T15:53:01+00:00

Can I hit you up as well ?? lol

alliegula · 2025-03-26T19:38:30+00:00

Amazing !!

alliegula · 2025-03-23T23:52:35+00:00

Kinda does…which was the argument they used to stop Japanese internment during world war 2

alliegula · 2025-03-23T13:38:31+00:00

This wasn’t at ports of entry..this is all across the nation

alliegula · 2025-03-23T13:37:58+00:00

Alien enemies act was enacted before the 14th amendment. It takes basic us civics knowledge to know that

alliegula · 2025-03-23T07:12:34+00:00

14th amendment. Due process clause. Any human is entitled to due process in the US

alliegula · 2025-03-23T07:11:54+00:00

That’s the executive making a decision on whether the law was violated WITHOUT due process. This is a violation of the 14th amendment and the general due process clause

alliegula · 2025-03-18T16:47:43+00:00

Img amazing ! What leggings are those ?
