Comment on There’s Never Been a Better Time to Study Computer Science
Eldritch@piefed.world 3 days agoThousands of CS grads getting laid off monthly. Market saturated with people looking for new jobs and hardly anyone hiring because of AI. Not that AI will adequately fill the jobs. Just because they don’t want to employ actual people. Yes definitely never a better time to go in to CS

Contrarian ass article. I can’t read the whole.thing but I don’t really need to. Personally I thing the university model.of paying a lot of money to take graded classes to earn degrees which are the primary white collar job crediental is a broken model. There’s a lot of code that needs to be written, I have a half dozen projects I wanna make but none for a boss.

Absolutely. It and a lot of other things should be approached like the trades. Work experience and (paid)internships. Once you learn the basic core concepts of computers and a single high-level programming language. 70 to 80% of the knowledge can transfer with relative ease to any other high-level programming language. The main differences would be chosen tooling and worksite demands. Which you will only understand by doing.
