"ook i know this sounds like doom posting because it is. but someone needs to tell you the truth before you waste 4 years of your life
cs unemployment just hit 6.1% for new grads. thats HIGHER than liberal arts majors. let that sink in. computer engineering is even worse at 7.5%. you have better odds getting a job with an english degree
remember when everyone said "just get into faang"? 700+ people laid off DAILY in tech this year. meta alone cut 20k+. these aren't juniors, these are senior engineers with 10+ yoe now flooding the entry level market. you're not competing with other new grads anymore, you're competing with ex-google engineers willing to take 60k just to have a job. theyre lit cutting everyone w/ ai. coding is the first thing ai will take."
And the rest.....

But you don't have to be a CS major, that's the point. I majored in the humanities and use AI every day. I'm at a large company and work with data scientist and science PhDs. I used to rely on them to do things I couldn't do; now I can use AI and get what I need. It's hard to overstate what a massive change this has been in the last 18 months.

Is it that capable now that we don't need any CS workers? and who will train the AI models? are they self-aware?

Also, I know the software company my brother works for just outsourced and hired a bunch of H1B workers. That was their compromise to save money because the economy is so terrible right now.
They usually don’t have EQ or social skills

Definitely not a time to go into cs.
Why? If it's that labor saving, he can create and sell more start-ups faster.
There are costs associated with that? He also likely doesn’t parallel track these startups and does them sequentially.
I think it’s an eye/opening account if true. Seems quite believable.

The PP said startup founder can do them faster and better now. Not every startup cashes out. I think the claim would support being able to found more businesses.
Once startup founder has $$$$ then he's going to spend it on things that require people. Maybe CS majors should learn how to captain yachts.
