[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of the rich kids/private schools have almost totally abandoned the CS path already.[/quote]

Are you talking about private HS?  Your comment really doesn’t make much sense.

BTW everyone…all these AI companies getting billions in funding as well as all the Y Combinator companies getting funded as we speak are like 90% founded by either CS majors or kids with extensive CS backgrounds.[/quote]

Sure, if your kid has an idea and wants to get a CS degree to become a tech entreprenuer, fine.  But for the masses, that's not the case.

And for those living under a rock, now build some single Google searches around that post and keyword like Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex, etc., and it'll help you reformulate your idea of the potential cliff ahead for the tens of thousands of kids going into CS or currently enrolled in CS.  Listen to heads of [b]MBB, GS, Citadel talk about their hiring needs [/b]and it'll give you a good idea of how the landscape is shifting.  We're in that moment of time where factory workers were slowly replaced and jobs dried up.  As parents, sitting under a rock isn't really a good idea at this time.  For the people in tech, to say it's "not a big deal" tells me that you're also very unaware, when every single tech C-suite person out there is saying how they're replacing the coding jobs (the primary entry for CS majors into a tech company) with AI.  For the amount of scrutiny that this particular forum places on getting into the elite schools and programs around the country, it's a little baffling to see such utter ignorance on the subject.[/quote]

And yet these are doing in person "networking events" for engineering students including computer engineering, on campus at kid's ivy. 
The cliff is more of an issue at the T20-40 non-elites that used to be targeted by these companies during expansion. Now it is back to ivy+[/quote]
