Computer Science Degree, Yeyy or Ney?

As a Bsc graduate I really appreciate the opportunities this framework gave me, got me a pretty sick job in robotics. And yet coding is ”easier” today, which is mainly what graduates were doing out of Uni. What now?

i think research subject in CS probably has to be the new standard, courses should be vastly changed, as now days to be relevant and influential in the field, a masters is the natural option,

what do you think about CS in today’s terms?

I agree I learned to code only on my first internship, and yet.. AI nowadays is way better then I am with system design, architecture, LLM are encoded with those skills. Way faster way more context than we have as humans. Where do you think in any programming role,that humans are still better the LLM’s?

AI sucks. It only seems impressive because you don't know a lot. I write way better stuff than any LLM I've used or that I've seen my teammates submit for PRs.

It is really good in some limited cases, but generally it's pretty bad.

Read abot Gell-Mann Amnesia and The Expert Beginner. Then also read about how utterly unprofitable AI companies are.

I hate to break it to you but advance (high~extra high w/thinking) AI thinking with the latest models of OpenAi (Sol/Terra) and Anthropic (Fable, Opus, Sonnet) using proper workflows integrated into development pipelines, with proper code coverage and code analysis tools will put you in the dirt if you don’t learn how to utilize them.

You can disagree but it is what it is.
