Peterin a class on using AI for data analysis and i genuinely don't want to work in information technology anymore. none of this shit works and everyone is required to use it anyway. it sounds like hell. i would literally rather flip burgers or whatever.
feels like the worst time to be alive if you are the kind of person who is passionate about learning to do things the right way.
Ankh-Morpork Parks and Rec 🌱@peter All I can say as a 30-year tech participant, is I agree with you about the current state of things, and I believe there is still a foundation of principled work out there. Some people really want it and care about it; there's just a huge amount of noise overshadowing those people right now. I truly believe it's temporary, but I also sympathize with anyone moving to work outside the industry. I've had similar thoughts myself.
@coreysnipes I'm trying to get into the industry and now about to give up. my kid is 16 and wants to study computer engineering, I hope his timing is right.
🦠Toxic Flange (Gurjeet)🔬⚱️🌚@peter @coreysnipes i’ve been telling this to my neighbours kid in univ, think of the computer and computer skills as a tool like a hammer or a box of tools, something you need to use to make something good and physical. so minor in comp sci, but add something that uses that too to it, medicine(science!), engineering (electrical, chemical) , law (patent laws, lawyers who know how computer works can really do some good in the world), heck even mathematics these days get inspiration and solutions from “solved” comp sci/networking path issues. So comp sci by itself these days is tough unless you’re exceptional , but having that tool to apply to some other work, that’s where it pays off, in my option as someone who has regrets with past life choices like just doing comp sci :)
Update 2:
Oh yeah and AI is never going to make the next great computer architecture, so become someone who can make the next ARM or RiSc or something new, a quantum chip , or clone brain matter as compute (no don’t do that, don’t make a slave race.. )
Update: Oh yeah i kinda wanna be a farmer now too and i know how tough and thankless that job is, but nevertheless..
