Blue what are your thoughts on a computer science degree in the big 2026. a lot of people think its gonna be useless, i think the job market is gonna shift VS disappearing completely

i dont think its a bad degree but also self learn AI or get AI certs at the same time or take AI classes

or focus on cybersecurity that will be needed a lot in the age of AI

I think AI will make SWE more useful before it replaces them and we could see a 5-10 years of the role changing but hiring still going up but I could be wrong man I've been wrong in the past

ai coding tools may create a jevons paradox for software: as implementation becomes cheaper, demand for software expands, increasing the value of higher-level software-engineering knowledge.

Just learn CS online & build projects tbh...

Suggest yall get a burner SM account and just follow people in your field/company you want to work for

Literally just take matters into your own hands and get bullish on what you want

Linkedin/Indeed/Dice is dead to me...

Just spent $600 on Ubiquiti gear for my new home.

I keep failing my way upwards and I now have golden handcuffs where if I get laid off / fired I’m f***ed lmfao.

new house? shoulda bought me a c7 corvette zr1 instead.

I’m going all out on some home automation.

I was debating on doing all Juniper gear cause I could just take it from work but I’d rather have the ease of access.

I think I have somehow dodged RTO at my company like 4-5 times now I am never giving this s*** up

I’m rocking a cloud gateway fiber, 2 U7 Pros, 2 switch ultras, and a UNVR instant at our new house

Built a whole network enclosure too, it’s pretty clean

Where you doing helpdesk at? How you like it?

Been in my IT PM role for a little over a year now, it’s fun, rewarding, challenging, stressful, inspiring, busy, and lots of constant learning. Think my company wants to move me up to a VP/c-suite role within the next 5 years so I’m just staying the course.

lmao yea I aint buying that much.

I still have the rest of the house to furnish and a new garage door.

lol, you’re too local you’d know exactly where with any hints

but it’s cool. My biggest complaints are the on-call week and It’s not as technical as I would’ve hoped. It’s already starting to feel like I’ve absorbed most of what this role will be teaching me.

Yeah I was feeling exactly that about a year in man, the on call is brutal. Do you get a lot of em during your rotation?

once a month and I’m currently on-call now hate this s***
