This AI stuff has really killed the excitement for me, I have to use to to hit productivity metrics and I don’t get to use my own mental capabilities as much.

I didn’t find myself truly interested until my senior year tbh. I hated the filler classes but once I was able to take Ai related courses I actually felt passionate about the field. Before this point, I didn’t truly enjoy the field but felt it was the only major that made sense to me and was willing to tolerate it just for decent pay

i think i know a lot of people that are cs majors, and don’t necessarily like coding. a lot of them tbh are just basically math majors, as it is possible to do only a few programming classes that don’t have any math in them (these people lowkey got to quant a lot of the time, but sometimes just really specific research in math/physics) i think a lot of people in cs study it more for what they can go into, than u may think. tldr, u dont need to like programming to study cs

I don’t LOVE coding. I went into CS for the money and job stability in 2022 and abouta graduate. I wanted to have a good job so I could pursue my passions on the side (art). What instead happened is that I don’t rly love the work and I don’t do art anymore. But to be fair I am still in college so I don’t have much free time

My ex is a CS major he hates coding with a burning passion and I keep telling him a different major would be better suited for him as he wants to go into something closer to a mechanical engineering job than a computer science job

I knew a lot of people in that category freshman year. Most of them dropped out sophomore year.

Sophomore here. I like coding and in general am curious about the very fundamentals of everything and how to do cool stuff, but I just don’t see myself working behind a screen and writing programs. It feels like more of a passionate side-hobby to me than a full career, like music or thinking, both of which I do a lot.
