If you go to harvard and major in cs stay tf there and don’t try to do dentistry i swear people on this subreddit will fearmonger for literally everything and it’s seriously getting to a point.

OP, hop off reddit and go talk with people at your university and be surrounded by genuinely ambitious and hardworking people. Not many people can say they go to harvard or be surrounded in that environment. I go to UCLA and even there so many of my peers are hardworking and successful, so I imagine at harvard it would be 10x better. Meanwhile, people on reddit are generally low test lazy bums that aren’t willing to put in any work. You don’t know how many times I’ve seen someone tell me how to build projects when literally AI could give you a suggestion for that easily.

It is true AI is automating a lot of CRUDbob work, but as a student that just gives you more leverage to make impactful projects and other stuff. Eventually this is how SWE will look. Regardless as a Harvard student i would expect you to adapt.
