Absolutely not!

A master's degree in computer science can be a valuable asset. While it is true that AI technologies are advancing rapidly, a master's degree in computer science can still provide a solid foundation in fundamental concepts and technologies that are likely to remain relevant for many years to come. In addition, a master's degree can help you develop advanced skills and expertise in a particular niche.

Moreover, a master's degree can also benefit those interested in pursuing academic or research careers in computer science.

Also, it is important to note that a "degree" or a "certificate" is just one factor. Other factors, such as your technical skills, ability to work well in a team, and problem-solving abilities, will also determine your success in the industry. Lastly, going to a University can also help you network with your peers, which is helpful in the long run.


For me, personally, it's not just the rule changes, but also the experience itself getting progressively worse and worse, especially on Android.

For instance, Twitter Spaces has always bugged out for me on my Android app(even pre-Elon). It just feels like a second-class citizen...


Oh really? What other options do you recommend?


Not who your asking but I suspect I know; none

Twitter being a dumpster fire doesn't mean we need to find a new dumpster


Yeah, but in the last week, it's been going downhill - abrupt removal of Spaces, Android users not able to like and retweet, and all that :(


I have been maintaining zero inbox for a number of years now!

It just takes discipline and a little OCD! I usually reply and act upon the most important work emails first thing in the morning, and my personal emails first thing after lunch.

I also clear out the spam and notification/newsletter emails while commuting.

Although I don't reach inbox zero every day, I manage to do it every 2-3 days. It gives me great joy!


Agree with this! An Amazon gift card would be a perfect gift, especially because you want them to enjoy it with their family and they can use it in any way they choose to.


I don't think that's the case, at least for the near future.

One, it gives small blocks of code, that too, for the most common use cases. Two, the code often contains a few errors (doesn't compile) or has a few security vulnerabilities.


While I am guilty of using Lensa AI and found it interesting, I am worried about how they will use my data. I have mostly uploaded my photos that were indexed by Google anyway, so I am okay for now.


I see systems like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion as "tools" that would aid us in our jobs.

Software Engineers or artists' jobs aren't going to "vanish" instantaneously because of AI; instead, it would make our lives easier.

Low-level menial, entry-level tasks like writing basic, repetitive code or basic design tasks would vanish or slowly phase away. Higher-level functions which require a lot of creativity and critical thinking won't be replaced with AI, at least for a VERY long time.

As it is currently, ChatGPT behaves more like a programmer who is just learning how to code. Just like Photoshop or Figma is a tool for designers, Software Engineers will soon start using ChatGPT to automate certain mundane tasks.

We are already doing that on sites like StackOverflow, where we find Regexes or stuff like that.


It's ok for small blocks or code, maybe a function or two, even a whole class, but beyond that, it's pretty pathetic. Even the small blocks of code it outputs only compile a few times and have a few errors. At this point, I would be wary of using it in Production systems.

Having said that, I usually compare it with Junior programmers, more like someone just learning a new programming language. You can expect that level of performance from ChatGPT!
