Ask HN: What is it like being in a CS major program these days?

How has the curriculum changed? What are the professors telling their students to explain why the course they enrolled in deserves the rigorous study? Are the students buying it - and is it matching reality at the end of the course? It’s hard to get a feel from the continuous pendulum swing of “it’s dead” to “it’s better than ever”. As much as I am scared with my own career, I am worried about my nephews’. What advice to give them, when all their life I have advocated for CS as a fulfilling career choice? P.S. I have pivoted to best time to be solopreneur. “But what about uni then?” Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47397190 Points: 15 # Comments: 1
