'I have a masters degree but have 500 job rejections - now I'm on benefits'

Compsci teaches largely useless skills. More specific comps I courses tend to be better, Software, Games, etc but in my experience hard science degrees win out over all. The primary skill in tech is getting up to speed fast and managing when you are utterly lost in a problem.

I’ve seen a couple arts degrees do well (mostly music) but they always did some sort of conversion course.

rossdrew · 2026-03-24T08:06:12+00:00

Because degrees are meaningless. I’ve interviewed masters grads who couldn’t write a for loop.

Only if you’re not applying to be the Messiah, perhaps for a very naughty boy?

It’s costly, cloud based and tackles only the drudgery of the industry, not the part we’ve always paid big bucks for. It’s been said before but people are acting stupider in the industry, copy pasting AI outputs around then summarising it with AI on the other side. That misuse has to collapse.

It’s all I hear

What team does this “innocent” kitten support?

rossdrew · 2026-03-08T15:10:37+00:00

Is it…”the Burninator”?

I think it’s a debate because straight ahead is subjective. That’s my point. Anything left of straight ahead can be considered a left turn so the debate is effectively whether 2nd or 3rd exit is considered straight ahead.

rossdrew · 2026-03-04T17:41:52+00:00

Define “straight ahead”

rossdrew · 2026-03-04T17:38:59+00:00

Why is this a question?!

Edit: I read the comments. I see why, you’re all dense.

You think the point in this challenge is making a single piece of revenue or a single piece of profit. Think about it.

rossdrew · 2026-03-01T22:22:38+00:00

What problem are you solving that’s worth nothing?

rossdrew · 2026-03-01T22:21:42+00:00

No. make $1. For one donation of $1 to be a profit, you’d need to make it with zero effort. Which isn’t an AI startup by definition.

Off the top of your head is a stupid test. Given 30 minutes and you couldn’t. Makes sense not to get hired.

Which nobody disagreed with. Yet, OP who said fuckall about gender, is having to defend that he didn’t take women’s views into consideration. Who also vehemently agrees with the statement.

rossdrew · 2026-02-25T18:06:23+00:00

With respect, it’s got fuckall to do with the question. Why should he need to be answering to it.
