- I went for CS in my late 20s, always tinkered with computers but didn't get into programming earlier. College advisor told me the same thing, and that he went for CS and it was worthless. This was 2012.
I had a job lined up before graduating. Now make high salary for the area, work remotely 98% of the time and have flexible schedule. I'm so glad I didn't listen to that guy.
- Well in some areas, the professionals are on the hook if they are incorrect, ChatGPT is not.
- OP was talking about a family for $30k.
Imagine 2 people get injured in a year, you are now at $60k. Plus, $150 a visit for primary and $300+ for specialist.
My 5 year old has been to the hospital 3 times, stitches once. US healthcare will ruin you if you don't have insurance. A cancer treatment can bankrupt a millionaire.
- The problem is the healthcare cost is insane. You will go through $40k after a good injury that may need a major surgery or few smaller surgeries. Average cost for hip replacement is $40k.
I've had a sports hernia and the bill was about $30k.
- This answer is obvious, however, video games/simulators can indicate if someone has potential.
Sim racing is a good example of this, there have been several drivers who went pro. Sims are used by racing teams and people like Max Verstappen, Lando Norris use sims heavily to improve their race craft.
I do a bit of sim racing and raced against pro drivers.
Athletic ability is a huge part but nearly every sport has a chess component. Additionally, ability to perform under pressure and dealing with stress/anxiety is another part of sports.
- These guys need to face the music imo. If people don't face prosecution it will be damaging.
Elon must needs to be investigated. All previous investigation need to be reviewed and if DOGE stopped or slowed any of them they need to be turned up to 10000000.
- Pseudoscience scares me. There are so many people that believe this nonsense and basic understanding of medicine disproves many of those claims.
- It looks fine to me, but I am fullstack and build apps that need to function.
- I don't think it is political reasons, seems like it is for large donation reasons.
- I am having a bunch of issues. It looks like their sites and azure are both affected.
I also got weird notification in VS2022 that my license key was upgraded to Enterprise, but we did not purchase anything.
- Quick find someone who can actually read documentation and code!
- This is an unhinged comment. You should take a deep breath and get off the internet. You sound extremely immature calling someone on HN "script kiddie".
- Or arrest them using ICE and make false claims. Or just make their life miserable and punish anyone who hires them.
In reality stuff like this feels like the beginning of an end.
I seriously don't know how anyone can look at what is happening right now and be okay with it.
- Elaborate please?
I feel like high iq people are more likely to succeed in the USA, than a communist country. This comes from someone whos parents grew up and lived in a communist nation.
- 8 years or 100k miles is bare minimum I would expect a car to last without major repair work.
These cars are not worth a lot after the warranty ends because the battery replacement cost exceeds the value of the car.
- I like Reddit, I pay for an app on iOS to have a reasonable experience. The mobile web experience otherwise is terrible.
Social Media sucks now. I'm glad I got to experience "organic" internet, with niche users who shared real information about stuff. Not the marketing machine we have now.
- Maybe I could create a grift company that tells other companies why they are using AI wrong.
After working for a few weeks at high hourly rate, produce a report. Then grift the next suites.
- President is sending national guard troops from Texas to other states........and this guy says this lol.
EU countries definitely have more sovereignty than US states. I really don't know how people can be this confidently wrong.
- According to this Texas is the worst.

I do however, love solving business problems. This is what I am hired for. I speak to VP/managers to improve their day to day. I come up with feasible solution and translate them into code.
If AI could actually code, like really code(not here is some code, it may or may not work go read documentation to figure out why it doesn't), I would just go and focus on creating affordable software solutions to medium/small businesses.
This is kind of like gardening/farming, before industrial revolution most crops required a huge work force, these days with all the equipment and advancements a single farmer can do a lot on their own with small staff. People still "hand" garden for pleasure, but without using the new tech they wouldn't be able to compete on a big scale.
I know many fear AI, but it is progress and it will never stop. I do think many devs are intelligent and will be able to evolve in the workplace.
