I’m seeing some debate about SWEs and CS majors. The concern now is that many graduate with a CS degree but are unable to code at the level expected of a junior developer or engineer or they’re unable to land a job at that. It’s so frustrating seeing people criticize saying “you should have done internships and outside projects and made an app in school didn’t you know?”

To start it off the expectations of junior developers are kind of insane, they want 2 years of experiences in languages and software. If your school never taught you that, you’re screwed. The expectation is high PLUS the competition is tough (hundreds and thousands will apply for that job) and then there’s the outsourcing…

And also… it’s ridiculous to me that going to college is not enough for the job. That the coursework taught at these schools won’t be enough for a job. It’s ridiculous paying so much tuition and not being given the right tools to get a job out of colleges or assistance with an internship. There’s no winning.

#allie.txt #it pisses me off and it’s so sad seeing people be like well yeah what do you expect? you have to be able to build an app before you graduate #to get a job it’s your fault #and no it’s not.#these schools are advertising they will give you the background to get these jobs but won’t provide you with the resources to do so?#this is a bit of projection because I have felt this #you don’t need to have been coding since you were a teen to be able to do this #the emphasis on stem hurts both stem and humanities imo #because extra focus on stem leads to this over saturation #it’s so upsetting #and on top of that the ai that hovers over their heads?#people saying they’ll take your jobs?
