[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]CS is dying has been said for last 30 years.[/b] AI is coming has been said for last 50 years. Its been coming. A long time. Is it coming now? and taking over everything? no. Are Tech companies cutting jobs, are others cutting jobs, and using AI as the excuse, yes. That way they don't have to take accountability for not making profits or their own inefficiencies.

Medicine is also dying, for people who go into it without knowing what they want to do, other than make money. Same is true for all fields.

Go to study CS because you love computers and want to know what goes on inside the machine and how to make them do things. Make AI do things with that knowledge. Build AD with that knowledge.

Mediocre students who case CS for money will be unemployed.

Stop posting. Clearly you know nothing.

My spouse and I are in tech, and 30 years ago, CS jobs in SV were hot.  Companies couldn't hire people fast enough. These were the days of huge signing bonuses, etc..  I got a 100% increase in my company because they didn't want me to leave.  I left a year later anyways, and my income jumped 440% in 2 years.[/quote]

You must be very bad at what you do.

Yea, I'm terrible. That's why I got a 440% increase in SV wages.  :wink:   I'm going to retire in my 50s, thanks to the SV money.[/quote]

But have you retired yet? "going to retire" is not same. I'm semi retired in my 50's without SV money, but I've been in computing since 1990s. I don't care where you worked or what you did, I know computing and I did for the love of it. I was using Lynx (text based browser) before Netscape came out with Navigator in '94. I was using WWW soon after Tim Berners Lees & co. invented HTML. I was on BSD Unix and all different variations since early 90's. Worked on green screens and COBOL to Cloud Computing and AI. I was told number of times by ignorant people about CS is dying and opportunities are elsewhere. I didn't care then, I don't care now. Because I started working with computers for free, just for the opportunity to work on them at first, then it became a well paid career. [/quote]

Hey friend! I was a liberal arts major and every dollar I’ve made in my life has been through my hobby, computers. Green screens, acoustic coupler modems, gnu, emacs… it’s been an infinite playground and I’m grateful that I’ve gotten to spend my career doing something so interesting and fun. And I absolutely don’t regret a second of my liberal arts degree, which gave me a chance to take time to learn things that it’s difficult carve out the time for in the “real world”.

It’s sad that my path (hobbyist to tech worker) no longer seems viable. It certainly weeded out people who didn’t love the subject. [/quote]
