The Computer-Science Bubble Is Bursting
- Bostonian 1y agoWhat are the most common majors students are choosing instead of CS?
- RitzyMage 1y agoCS is definitely becoming a less profitable field, but I think blaming AI is naive and unfounded. A non-technical friend of mine tried coding with AI help for a week his opinion is that "AI is not nearly as useful as people are making it out to be". I agree. I use AI for certain small tasks, but it is WORLDS away from being able to write a full app, much less a complete architecture. It is completely incompetent in the truly difficult parts of computer science.
- jasonthorsness 1y agoFor those who really enjoy CS fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, programming), I believe it’s still a good choice to pick it. If the doomers are right and software engineering goes away, other fields aren’t any less vulnerable.
