- theamk 1y agoJobs are different too. At the place I work in, we have many software engineers doing research-y stuff - nothing groundbreaking, but plenty of algorithms to be written, tuned and debugged. We would not want the candidates that cheated through college with AI. Other places might be different of course. I've heard many sentiments from webdevs that they never use any CS theory, and college is useless, so I suspect you don't really need college if all you want to do is web development.
