So predictable

American computer science is a room of Zionist elon musks finding which public good to privatize and which innovations to squat over for royalties.

Deeply embarassing field (unless you contribute to collectively owned software and hardware projects).

Not even a programmer, just a software implementation person, and it took me almost 2 years to land a job after losing my last tech gig.

It really pains me that so many others are having as much or more trouble than I had. Now im not even in the tech field (but still doing like data analysis shit)

What's wrong with studying software?

Nothing unto itself, but the tech sector is notorious for being thoroughly permeated with reactionaries 0

This is temporary, they will lose all of their infrastructure and come back to comp sci majors after the code gets completely fucked. Trust me these companies can only think in short term which is why so many times they should have lost everything but Government socialism takes care of that.

Backfires?

That was the point.

They wanted to increase the reserve supply of coders and so they saturated the labor pool with tons and tons of graduates, who now have to compete with each other for a dwindling supply of jobs. "Learn to code" was always about lowering wages and employment.
