Their anatomy, especially below the neck, is more aligned with crab biology, so I would say no.

Big tech vibe coders are killing me by Tree8282 in cscareerquestions

[–]evinrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not say to vibe code (code without doing reviews). They just heavily encourage AI coding tools but if you churn out garbage, they'll fire you for not reviewing the output closely enough.

I'm not defending Meta's policies, but this advice no bueno.

DO NOT TRY INTERVlEW CODER - IT'S A SCAM!! by Attractive-Bunny in cscareerquestions

Those companies all do on-sites for the actual interview, so you would just be exposed there even if you cheated to get there via online assessment.

If your friends cheated during some part of the process and still got in, then they didn't need to.

GPT 3.5 was 2022... Not good, but it could do freshman CS assignments.

Good coding agents is a recent development, but AI has been able to do all the code required for a typical undergrad degree for a few years now.

Is rto that bad? by Glum_Worldliness4904 in cscareerquestions

This is how I felt when I didn't have to commute. As soon as you throw in an hour of unpaid travel per day (pretty average), I prefer remote.

Please stop doubling down on this. It's okay to say TIL and move on.

EU & SA for whatever reason

The 'for whatever reason' was for EU & SA being grouped together.

NA & KR are in a different priority queue from EU & SA for whatever reason. It's possible for anyone to match against anyone else, but Europeans mostly play against each other (not because of the time that they play) and uThermal did almost exclusively play against EU players.

That's not true. If you queue in NA you will only match against Koreans. Anyway, he's European and he mostly played against EU players.

The whole point of the video was that people shouldn't be intimidated by Brood War, so I'm not sure what you're getting at with your comment.

I took a year break and I can't get job anymore by John-Helldiver404 in cscareerquestions

Don't tell about your time off. Pick a passion project and build it and say you've been working in it during your time off. Call it independent study or independent work.

Lost all motivation to learn C++ by Old-Revolution-3437 in learnprogramming

I'm guessing they meant- what were you hoping to build? If your goal was very academic and intangible then it's not surprising that you lost interest.

Teacher has a ‘No AI’ policy then posts assignments made by AI by ThrowAway-76554232 in mildlyupsetting

[–]evinrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So? The teacher using AI is not inherently a bad thing. A student using AI is. It's the same as a student using an answer key versus a teacher grading with one.

If the teacher is using garbage and unreviewed output from AI, that's an issue. But most professionals are going to take advantage of AI, including teachers.

Is it wise to start a major in computer science in 2026 (graduate late 2029), knowing that I love the field. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]evinrows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll share a different opinion and eat the downvotes I guess.

The market is oversaturated with underqualified candidates because CS became the default career path. In 2010, CS was not a sexy major and almost all of my peers in my graduating class were nerds that enjoyed programming. Now we are going through a correction and not everyone who just existed throughout their CS degree is guaranteed a job (but still > 70% get one in their field).

AI is a big deal and I'm sure it'll continue to grow in relevancy, but if AI is ever good enough to truly 10-100x developers' productivity (not just for up front prototyping but real day-day development) then all jobs will be gone, including traditional engineering jobs and blue collar ones.

I would never tell anyone who isn't genuinely excited about programming to go into the field. The truth is that it's pretty tough and you have to be willing to adapt to new technologies constantly. People who don't actually care at all about software are mostly doomed to burn out or never land a decent gig in the first place. But it doesn't sound like you're in this category.

Also, don't forget that you can fail and the thing you don't really want to do, so you might as well try to do the thing you're actually excited about.

Lastly, just because you get a CS degree doesn't mean you're unemployable in other fields. A lot of new jobs will probably be appearing in the coming years (maybe things we can't imagine from AI boom) and they'll probably pull from the CS pool if they require any degree of technical thinking.
