The advice I’d give to new CS graduates: Vibe code what you’re passionate about and make video content about it and yourself. Build a following about your work online and show it off at events. You’d be surprised how fast you can get to the top of the space you’re passionate about this way.

good advice. Also wonder if the value of CS degree is going down... you didn't really need to know about Recursion or the pumping lemma but now you really dont need to know it.

I’d say definitely, just because it used to be so easy to get a FT job at 100k+ out of new grad. But I think people who didn’t do it for the money and just are programmers are fine. You still need logical and systems thinking ad problem solving. Everyone else who still wants to program should probably do what they’re actually passionate about and accelerate it with vibe coding/automation and distribution.

Yes all very true today. I think things will look different even a few years from now. If I were headed into my freshman year today, I think I would focus on Robotics and CS has a huge role to play because we are probably further away from vibe coding robotics and CS principles are still necessary and maybe it buys you another 10 years on your career.

I’d probably do cs x bio and try to do comp bio or another hard science. I think we’re going to see a huge ai science explosion. I’m less attuned to robotics but it seems a lot further along than comp bio.
