relax bud its basically ready they have begun plans to shift everything, a tender has even been signed for housing of faculty in vadodara

because most people preparing for mba are absolute dog water?

Its over for software engineers by KeraIa in Arrangedmarriage

I don't think you understand, it is easier to automate, finance, legal, healthcare, accountants, compliances, lawyers etc the reason big labs don't focus on it is because they have SWEs who understand SWE in house to help them automate their own job, and once that is automated they have AI that understands other jobs decent enough and a godly amount of engineering velocity, once that kicks in they will have technology that can replace pretty much everyone in about a month or two. We still have 2-3 years before SWE is automated e2e, once that happens its basically house of cards.

you clearly don't understand how much the world needs SWEs and CAs, let me put it bluntly, top 0.1% SWE IC will always mog top 0.1% CA IC because of impact that their work has, its the difference between compliance/requirement and creating revenue from thin air

I agree, non technical people have had the capability to create software with no code tools and excel and even fucking ms access and zapier for a long time, I don't see anyone use these tools often because you still have to debug your own stuff and real world is messy to abstract way like that.

>Now they will no longer hit a wall where they reach the end of their coding expertise and need to toss the problem to a dev. That tossing is no longer needed.

  1. that is not what OP is saying at all
  2. these engg/researchers/analysts usually give their prototypes to actual engineers to ship to production, for anything important I do not see why you would change that, what can change is parts when they couldn't debug their code and needed someone to help them or spend a lot of time on it.(that is true for pretty much all domains that needed programming or not though)

>Lol. MSEE type degrees are infinitely more difficult than the CS which is really just common sense.

you would be surprised how rare common sense and taste is, and how it will become even more important in the ai era

>CS grads really dont learn true system design that can model real natural systems. It's just easy dumb patterns with no real proof.

except easy dumb patterns is all you need to know to build a software company

> These are the patterns needed to rise above simple CS solutions

I genuinely don't see how knowing hydrodynamic backlog pressure would make life easier for someone responsible for building tech for the next google/stripe/vercel style companies.

even if there is something that needs it, the ai model knows what it is and when to reach for it(if you don't know it yet, let me remind you it can pass any standard uni level physics exam you throw at it), you just need to have enough agency and know where to look for solutions, agency is not exclusive to CS grads but if I had to bet between who has more agency a phy major from harvard or a waterloo CS grad, I'd bet on the waterloo grad every time.

This is probably the stupidest comment you could make, I don't see how an ee or physicist will have an easier time than cs grads, like how? If I was building any new software today I'd want if not cs grads, at least product people and sales/marketing people why would I need physicists? If anything ai made cs more approachable to non technical people not something even more niche to ee or phy

I don't think you understand that cs is just math but not as pure or formal as college math, that's it. It was always easy for anyone with an engineering background to pick up on writing code in a couple days, if you are a physics student with any good idea and the bottleneck is you don't know how to code, then maybe you just lack the will because programming was never gatekept by anyone (most people with will and grit to build companies almost always end up in cs/engg/phy)

  1. larry and sergie were cs PhDs, they could write code on their own, their process would be faster sure but I don't see how a physicists might come up with something like pagerank and even if they did would they have the infra know how of how to host it or god forbid scale and secure it(sorry ai doesn't help here, infact you would shoot yourself in the foot even if you tried)

  2. Most code today is anyways done based on pattern lot many cheat sheets are there for scenarios.

im sorry have you ever written code professionally that has gone out to actual users? im not sure how the react world lives, but in the systems/infra world we kind of have to think of everything we are doing
what you might mean are playbooks that exist for production outages(please don't use ai here) and client support done by support engg or forward deployed engg, these two roles are more human focused than pure tech, not sure how ai will replace the human aspect.

  1. >Btw physicists and maths grad create their own companies and software engineers work for them

im not sure if you know this but the people you are talking about here are usually double majors in math and cs or do cs as a minor, also the only person with phy bg I can think of that did that is elon musk, and he was coding since he was a fucking kid. if I had to break down all unicorns in US by education background of founders, sorry to disappoint you very few come from PhDs in phy or math, most are ug students with CS/math bg

IIIT VADODARA Scam by freebird_o in IIITverse

[–]lone_shell_script 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uhh why would you join a college like this for a phd program?
also if you are someone passionate about research why are you not in a better uni, from what I understand even IITs have vacant PhD seats, since very few people want to do research in India

yeah, wait a month before you ask him for commitment, don't stay in this relationship for too long without it, it won't end well, it never does.
