*sigh* why the fuck didn't I major in CS!?

I don't know, but for me it was undiagnosed ADHD. 😋 Fortunately IT is one of the areas where lack of a degree isn't a showstopper.

i mean i recently did a contract gig updating a 6 year old legacy codebase in a language I've never used

oh also I've barely coded anything in my life

you guessed it, i used an LLM (as the contracter requested, but still...) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

so i keep waffling between "my (then) undiagnosed ADHD would have stunted my CS learning hard enough that I'd barely be any more knowledgeable than I am now anyway" and "despite it being a terrible fucking idea companies are going to try their damnedest to replace all software engineering with vibe coding"

so i end up back at "at least i have a degree in pipetting and can go get a $20/hr job moving small volumes of liquid back and forth until pipetting robots become cheaper than me"
