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.

depends on what they want to build IMO. People studying CS to become product engineers yes. But if you're studying: graphics, cryptography, computer vision, AI, etc. then I'd say spend more time doing "hard stuff". You can learn the vibe coding later but while you're in an academic setting immerse yourself into the more cutting edge research. You still have a massive advantage if you understand the fundamentals! I think the CS degree holders are finally facing the reality other, older technical degrees already had to face: there's a difference between an engineer and technician. Let me be clear: I'm not saying one is better than other. Just different! I studied mechanical engineering. But I'm not a mechanic and an expert in cars or airplane parts. And likewise not every mechanic knows thermo and fluid dynamics. The world needs both. You don't need a CS degree to build websites and apps. But it will probably help you if you're interested in lower level programming.

Good point! Maybe better is: make stuff youre authentically excited about and make content around it. It seems easier to do stuff than ever.
