5 things I wish I knew before studying Computer Science 👩🏻‍💻

[@MagdelineHuang]

Hey friends, there have been lots of questions about tech and Computer Science in the comments section below, so I made a video to answer all your questions! 😄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3Owl2WlZ7KJesk

[@techknowhow5083]

Please don't give up on stuff like this💚💚

[@askredditstudios8055]

Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

can i be data scientist with cs degree? also how long should intern take before taking full time job? thanks

[@CharlieKelly-ub5qw]

I'm still looking for a job. But I can't find a job.

[@sangramsaha9632]

Will you be my friend?? I am also a cs student

[@dont_listen_to_Albo]

When I was an undergraduate student in engineering in the ‘70s, my professor gave us this advice: “You are not here to learn engineering. You are to get a piece of paper that will give you a good start in life. If during your time here, you did learn something about engineering, that will be purely incidental”.

[@MagdelineHuang]

I love this! I can only agree :) No degree is future-proof and there is no one best degree. No one knows what the future may hold. What we can do however is to be resilient and adaptable in the face of uncertainty. Let's continue working on our goals and not be influenced by fleeting external forces beyond our control.

[@frostsmaker8966]

And I didn't get that paper. The government had designed the university to generate that piece of paper for students so they have a "qualification" to be an employee. I don't have that "paper" but I don't care anymore. I just force my way out by coding and creating things that help my own business. Yes, instead of becoming an employee I choose to be a business owner. I love skills because it is real, I hate paper because they are paper. I'm an action guy type not a reader. I only read when there is a problem to solve. Yes, to the point on the mark.

[@dont_listen_to_Albo]

@@frostsmaker8966 The piece of “paper” serves to signal to prospective employers that the holder of the piece of paper is smart and capable. For most people, this provides a springboard for a (hopefully) promising future. For yourself and the likes of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, you and they didn’t need the piece of paper.

[@hathawayamato]

So why doesn't an engineering degree teach you engineering?

[@TheSeanjohn2012]

Yeah, answer @shunnybunnyc's question. As a marketing major actually being taught marketing I can inform you: telling kids you'll teach them engineering and proceeding to not teach them engineering is called false advertising. The only reason why your piece of paper has any value is because other people think it does. If people weren't willing to learn new things on the job, this entire system would fail, and in alot of developing and third world countries, it is failing.

[@torikus]

1. You won't be learning how to make websites and apps. 2. You won't be learning leanguages and tools used in the industry. 3. Use the 3ps of programming to improve your programming skills. p1. Problem Solving p2. Perseverance p3. Practice 4. Build your portfolio from first year. 5. Being a software engineer isn't the only career path.

i'm also a final year CS student!!! for me the first thing i wished i knew would definitely be #5 - that software development isn't the only career path after graduation. i had impostor syndrome for the longest time because i knew that i didn't want to delve into software (& mainstream tech industry in general, honestly), but i realized my passion lies in another slice of the discipline (like networks, data/more backend stuff, infosec).

[@MSneberger]

Just finishing a CS masters. I found that there were two types of students who did well in CS: 1) those who are natural mathematicians as they could breeze through the math and focus on the programming; and 2) those who could already code as the programming is easier for them and they could focus on the math. I met a few students who fit both of these and they were superstars. I on the other hand was neither and CS was pretty brutal!

Once I enter my bachelors program however I'll start doing nothing but coding then. Just remember to just pass your classes, you may not start doing much coding at all but push through!! I wish I known that most of my time would be pre recs due to me wanting to transfer but I have only taken 2 coding classes sadly. For practice either read code and make sure you can understand what's going on within it, and do fun small projects. Good luck yall!

if you don't mind going back to school (preferably a community college) you can get your AS in computer programming to better build upon you CS degree, they will go through and give you all the fundamentals and show you the tools and industry standards.

[@kavya5909]

​​@@anasyeager5598it's still pretty helpful as for me It helped me to start preparing from start of uni itself as in my uni they focus more on theoretical part than application part so I got to explore and do things on my own, although when I watched this video I was in 2nd year but it helped me in building project even though they are big but the helped me to gain confidence and also i started practice coding which helped me in logic building and solving more problems, I was also able to explore more domains in CS like web development, ML, Web-App security. Which I in the long run helped me in building effective resume and acquire useful skills(which maybe I wouldn't have known that I need to learn or find it later on and didn't have the time to explore) I hope this answer helps.

[@technerd020]

Thank you for this video. I think that computer science is mainly teaching you how to "think like a computer", if it makes sense. Also, I see your program is a bit different than mine due to the uni. I learned computer systems architecture, linear algebra, and C programming during my first semester (among others), and now I'm learning object-oriented programming (through C++), operating systems & security, and data structures & algorithms for my second semester. I will admit though, that I struggled deciding between choosing software engineering and computer science. Ultimately, I chose CS, and I do not regret it whatsoever, I love it, and couldn't be any happier withe the courses I'll be taking. Again, thanks for the video, and have a lovely day.

I got a CS degree back in the 1980's and the classes were just as you said. There was very little on networking and more emphasis on architecture, assembly language, and operating systems. There was no object-oriented programming back then either.

[@MagdelineHuang]

Interesting! So it seems like the CS degree syllabus may not have evolved that much over time in comparison to how tech has progressed (eg esp in terms of how frontend today is so different and diverse to just plain HTML and CSS back in the day) 🤔Object-oriented programming is definitely a thing that was emphasised in my CS degree though because we focussed on Java.

In 2023 the best option to join tech is mechanical engineering/ robotics degree because you can easily learn how to code by yourself and even ChatGPT can teach you and code stuff for you. you have to think about the future. my advice if you want to join tech is join through robotics cuz there you actually build things and the AI can’t really take that job away cuz it’s physical and you actually need human interactions and stuff. with robotics you can also learn machine learning by yourself and even to code websites and whatever tf you want to create. a cs degree isn’t what it was 10 years ago. be smart . you can always do coding bootcamps and stuff, you can’t do robotics bootcamps (trust me, i’ve researched ) PS: i’m not discrediting people who are in CS. i’m just trying to say that CS isn’t the only way into tech or software AT ALL

[@Giang_as_artist]

Agree that CS is not the only way into tech, and AI might take over some IT jobs in a near future, but I think you misunderstand what CS means. If you think CS is purely coding, then no. Maybe you won’t see any difference coding easy stuffs from graduated and the ones doing the bootcamps, but in big projects that require deep understand of software architecture, automata, and complexity theory to optimise, those theory that CS graduated learn from the university really makes the difference.

[@vargr4730]

Using projects to learn is the way. Also rememeber they do not have to be rocketships, they can be screwing around with a rando script to generate scribbles sometimes. :)

[@Capitan_Chaos]

Something that no one ever talks about that before even getting to the "cool stuff" is that there's a ton of math classes you have to get through.

[@SuccessMindset2180]

1. Specialized skills are usually not being taught in colleges and universities and that’s why they are so valuable 2. Most of the knowledge and skills are acquired autonomously 3.

[@Giang_as_artist]

I am a Master student CS. From my experience, about 60% CS students chose the wrong major. What they really wanted to study is Computer Engineering, in which they study how to code, how to build a website and so on, which is not the focal point of CS. Computer science is the study of computation, automation, and information, and coding is just accidentally the way we communicate with the computer to finish those tasks

Love this video and your insight into computer science, Magdeline! And I definitely agree with the googling for help tip, it's definitely a very useful skill haha XD If you're taking video requests, I would love to see how you have set up your VS Code environment, and how you use it! :)

[@MagdelineHuang]

Thanks so much Aayushi! Yes I can't imagine life without Google 😂 Great video idea, I've added it to my list! 😍

Whichever technical field you choose, you'd better prepared and learned required skills even before you go to uni.
