Compsci grads facing recession-like job prospects thanks to AI
Slinging coffee and waiting tables ain't just for liberal arts grads any more, say Census Bureau economists
“AI isn’t capable of taking any jobs away.”
Honestly, its just a boom/bust cycle out of the pandemic. They overhired in 2021/2022. Hang in there, it’ll sort itself out.
this actually outside of that, AI just put a wrench in the works, i dont think cs had a good outlook since 10 years already.

Honestly, you are right it didn’t. CS majors get way less work than Software Engineers where I live. CS is mostly academic and not practical. Maybe different elsewhere, but not a golden ticket. I don’t like working with compsci grads because they don’t know how to make stuff. They don’t know best practices or how to make reusable code and features. Software engineers on the other hand, actually useful contributors.
Nevertheless, Software engineering, just like other engineering fields, way way way over saturated. Mechanical and electrical engineers in places like Toronto are just working Starbucks. You gotta be top of class or there’s nothing for you.

Recession isnt breaking because Ai is pumping the market.
