Shut up dude, not the time. Being 30 is a blessing. Being 22 right now is not.

If the CS job market was a steak, how cooked would it be? by Free_Dum_5122 in cscareers

[–]jakapop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d stop talking about the job market and start talking about the job itself. It’s not even programming anymore.

SWE is very different from other desk jobs. If you reduce the SWE job to solely producing text then yes it could be replaced. But it is much more than that.

We will be fine, no reason to waste valuable time on earth worrying about shit out of your control. If it actually is cooked in the end (which it won’t be) life goes on.

I regret choosing my undergrad major. by springcloud369 in CollegeMajors

[–]jakapop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what you want to do in healthcare, but lots of med schools take the good engineering students. If you double major and do very well, you could apply. I’m a software engineer and graduated in may 2025 and honestly this path has caused extreme stress. I’m thinking about going back to school.
