> It feels almost unethical to train you as computer scientists only to send you out into a world where entry-level computing jobs... lol. We millennials are in a position to start giving advice the way boomers used to do with us, now that school is looking more like a couple decades ago instead of just one. But, unlike those boomers, we don't watch the nightly news: we snort it from a tiny screen all day long from sources hyper engineered to feed off our anxiety. So we give all this super pessimistic advice. "Back in my day, I got a job at google right after college and it was awesome! My code was elegant! You guys are FUCKED!" I agree that AI is creating mega changes, many very bad, but that doesn't mean that it's a good idea or even true to tell GenZ people they're fucked. We don't know if they're fucked. I think they could have a ton of fun with software and I think it's OK to be encouraging about that. | ||
