    They can’t get a job because they do not possess any skills that are marketable… I hate to break it to you, but going to computer Science school doesn’t make you a coder, and doesn’t make you good at anything.

      Tbh I feel like computer science was the most overrated major this past decade and way too many students picked it.

        Exactly, as hard as it is to swallow for people, there was a time when coding was a cushy job that you could land after drinking through college. Those days are gone, and it’s back to what it was when I was a dev: you made your own way; You made something awesome and you force companies to look at you and say holy fuck let’s get this person they’ve got something going on.

          I thought most corporations just used the free software made by people who’ve “got something going on” without paying. I keep seeing complaints about that crossing my feed in Mastodon.
