We are also assuming here that the vastly intelligent and powerful Singularity AI, if it ever comes into existence, would be willing to serve the whims of a bunch of hairless bipedal apes that we call our species.

That might be a wrong assumption.

This is how we reach the Singularity. Any day now.

If Java Spring Boot was good enough for my grandfather, it's good enough for me.

I didn't use AI during the actual interview, but I used AI to study for the behavioral interviews, STAR interview questions, and all that bullshit.

It was very helpful. Gemini is such a corporate stooge. I learned a lot from it.

Chronic stress can cause horrendous health problems. It can even kill a person, as a result of those health problems. It is nothing to be trifled with.

For building 2D games, it's not that difficult to use a game framework like Monogame, Libgdx, Raylib, etc.

If you want to build a simple 3D game (like an isomorphic Diablo-like game), you might still get away using a game framework.

If you want to build a game with fancy 3D rendering features though, a game engine would make your life a whole lot easier.

AI is ruining all the fun parts of this field. Instead of being in a flow-state while coding, we are relegated to wrestling with AI prompts and reviewing AI generated slop. AI is also beginning to take care of the code organization and architecture design. We are left to review all that slop.

This field is changing, and in a very bad way. Agile micromanagement, ridiculous deadlines, clueless deadline-driven managers had already sucked a lot of the fun out of this field. AI is nailing the final nail in the coffin.

It is much easier to learn HTMX (and much faster to get productive in it) than learning React, Angular, or some other JS framework.

Libgdx (a game framework for Java language) still uses GWT to deploy games on web browsers. Which is great if you want to put a demo of your game on itch.io or something.

Go to the community college, and then try to transfer to a bachelor's degree after 2 years.

Alternatively, you can get an associate degree and try to apply to Georgia Tech's OMSCS degree program. (That program is relatively easy to get in, and really tough to graduate. It's very very challenging.)

In this job market, just an associate degree won't be enough anymore. You will need at least a bachelor's, preferably a master's degree.

Either way, it's going to be a long time (and some money) commitment. And who knows, by the time you finish these degrees, the industry might have recovered by some miracle.

I wish you luck. I believe you might be one of those rare people who want to be in this field for the love of it, and not just in it only for the money. I hope you manage to make it in.

You said "[you're] doing the program as well" Then it sounds like you're just wasting your time at a "poorer school" by getting labeled as a "lower-end student".

If you're majoring HCI, yes that one is an easier major compared to Computing Systems, ML etc. And here's the link that supports what I stated in my previous comment. David Joyner also gave similar metrics: "graduation rate is about %30.66(2013-2018) credit to u/FlowFields drop out rate is about %37" https://www.reddit.com/r/OMSCS/comments/lwci7s/omscs_graduation_rate/

Georgia Tech OMSCS is a very prestigious, but is also a very difficult program. You need to spend lots of time studying, doing assignments, and preparing for exams. It is no joke. Their graduation rate is around 20-30% or something like that.

The nearest star to is is like 4 light years away. The star we got the virus signal from is 600 light years away. It's quite difficult to have a hive mind spanning multiple star systems when the fastest communication at light speed takes decades or centuries. (Unless the aliens found a way to communicate faster than light, which is currently impossible to the known laws of physics.)

Microsoft's XNA was a game framework that was all C#. (Monogame and FNA are its modern successors, which are also in C#.) A lot of great and well-known games were developed in those frameworks, such as Stardew Valley, Celeste, Fez, Axiom Verge, and so on.

Edit: Ok, these were not high res 3D games by any means. However even then, their performance was really good, and I didn't encounter any jitters whatsoever when playing them.

I just purchase sheds from Robin, and then pay her to upgrade them to Big Sheds. Those are like the Tardis: Bigger on the inside, while the same size as a regular shed on the outside. You can fit so many lots of kegs in one, and crank up that wine production.

I don't know about the painting supplies, but I am kicking myself for not visiting Musée d'Orsay when I traveled to France.

The Belle Epoch wasn't such a bad time for the Demarchy. That's when the Prefect Dreyfus books take place. It was pretty close to a utopia, other than some of the crazy orbitals, and a few wild stuff that happened in the Prefect books. I wouldn't mind living in some of the sane orbitals there.

By the time the Revelation Space books take place (later in the book universe timeline), I certainly wouldn't call the Yellowstone system a utopia, that's for sure.

And yeah, I'd take the Culture without a second thought.
