    I mean, I graduated over 20 years ago now, but I had to take a number of EE courses for my CS major. Guess that isn’t a thing now, or in a lot of places? Just assumed some level of EE knowledge was required for a CS degree this whole time.

      I got my BS in CSci about 15 years ago and it was 100% about programming in java. We didn’t learn a fucking thing about hardware and my roommate was an EE major and we had none of the same classes except for calculus.

      By the time I graduated java was basically dead. Thanks state college.

      In my uni they kinda just teach java. There is one mandatory class that’s in C and one that’s in mips assembly tho.

      Everyone used AI when I took those classes. By the end of the year they were still having trouble on groupchat with syntax stuff.
