I have a controversial take and a very bold guess: CS principle will be more important than ever when you graduate college.

  1. CS enrollment is way down especially in the U.S. because of AI scare.
  2. Old programmers are mostly retired during the AI hype period

Both of these mean that the supply of programers will be way down when you graduate.

  1. AI have been slopping out code that might break within couple years. We have seen many service degrade, but not much critical failure yet, these could come later.
  2. Most open source project has began to ban pure LLM contributions. Even Rust disallow LLM-generated code with very minor exceptions. Likely company are going to do the same
  3. People who go to a simple coding bootcamp will not be competitive when LLM is in the picture, nobody need a programmer to "make the button bigger" anymore.

All these said, the demand for "good programmer" likely will not go down. If you study hard, do side projects, and build connection during college, you will likely be at a huge advantage after 3 or 4 years.

Of course, there will also be risks, i.e. that LLMs actually wipe out all programming jobs, which it is unlikely, but also not impossible.

Maybe a bit more context would help:

  • Different part of China have drastically different food culture. In general the south east or specifically Jiangsu uses less seasoning than many other region of China.
  • I am from Chongqing, a region famous for inventing spicy hot pot and using heavy seasoning. Yet, when I grow up, plain fried rice is the norm in Chongqing (along with other heavily seasoned dishes): just egg, lard, rice, salt, and msg, even scallion and white pepper is optional. There is definitely no garlic, chilli oil, and soy sauce in there.
  • this community is c/cooking not c/masterchef. OP's cooking is not perfect, so is most people in this world, and that is okay. There is no need to be mad about it.

All I am trying to say is that 1) different region have different interpretation of the same food, and different people prefer different versions 2) even if OP don't have great cooking, there is no need to be hyper critical about it. OP is feeding themself, and generous share their food image here for free.

I hope we can all agree fried rice is not the thing that is worth our anger now (plenty of other things in the world are). Thus, I hope we can stop this argument here, and move on to more important things in our life

Excuse me what does libral art refers to here? In my head, half of STEM are libral art subjects: math, physics, chemistry, economics, psychlogy, sociology, and etc.

  1. That is way too big of an umbrella
  2. They cannot by that unemployable

Liberal arts education (from Latin liberalis 'free' and ars 'art or principled practice')[1] is a traditional academic course in Western higher education, which traditionally covers the natural and formal sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities.

Just FYI, said "little village" have 85 million people, more than twice the population of the most populous state in the U.S. (california), which only have 39 million. The same village also have higher population than the entirety of Germany (thrid populous country in Europe with 84 million people, only behind Russia and Turkey)

Is the financial institution you are currently borrowing from required by law to comply with refinancing? If not, it is hard for me to see how they would allow this, since you usually refinance for a better deal.

When math department is loosing, they ask Banach Tarski to turn 1 ball into 2-ball, now they can win in frisbee.

I used to have one broken point, then Banach and Tarski looked at it, now I have a Banach fixed point and a Tarski fixed point
