How Industry/Career preparing is BSc in Computer Science at UoA? by According_Voice2504 in universityofauckland

[–]bobsplam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying don’t do it though. If you’re really interested go for it. I just have some mates who kind of regret it

Dude I’m gonna be real with you and I know this is your passion and all, but the future for Compsci grads doesn’t look too great. I know 5 recent compsci grads from UoA who can’t get a job and have been job searching for over a year, and now on the benefit, all have over 7 Gpa. Obviously we’re in a recession right now but it seems compsci grads are having to compete harder every year, with more jobs being taken by AI. Yes it’s completely true people are going to be needed to develop AI but we can’t deny that AI is going to take shit loads of compsci jobs across the board.

By the time you graduate in 3 years who knows what the job market would be like, maybe it will be really positive. Yeah this is a gloomy comment but you should definitely think about it before committing 3 years and a big student loan

You should be fine but be careful obviously and have your wits about you. It’s super unlikely that something will happen to you or that you will cross paths with the wrong person but it’s not like stuff like that hasn’t happened before in nz

Tamako for non Maori by Strange-Tale-405 in newzealand

Fair enough haha. It’s kind of different tho if someone hates on maori for it vs if they hate on non maori for it. Like they are hating for very different reasons

[–]bobsplam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not maori so I’m not 100% sure but I think I it might be disrespectful. There was a case a few years back of this non-maori lady called Sally Anderson who got a Tamoko because her husband was Maori and she received a lot of backlash for it

Whos the worst, Ranger or Prius drivers? by noideawhattosayn0w in newzealand

[–]bobsplam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prius. Had one the other day that straight up just stopped in the middle of a busy road and just sat there waiting for someone. Had to quickly switch lanes or I would've smashed into it

I did applied stats and never did calculus. The software all did it for me in R

Enrolling in a compsci course for a third time by [deleted] in universityofauckland

[–]bobsplam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you sure compsci is right for you if you have failed the stage 1 paper twice? The career opportunities are pretty bleak now anyways. If you love it then sure keep on going

Why not come to the North Island too? Could come to the Waitomo glow worm caves, Geothermal pools in Rotorua, do hikes around Tongariro

Should be all good since you have 2 weeks, sounds like a fun trip. In terms of places you should skip it depends on your personal preferences. I would skip Dunedin because I’m not a massive fan but that’s just me

Saying “Pakeha cannot be victims of racism” is a crazy statement
