    Sounds like you went to one of the schools in the article. If they treat their degrees as measly job door stops, then of course they aren’t gonna give a shit if the students actually learn anything. With an actual education, it won’t matter if “ai” destroys the applicable career because the student actually learned what they paid to learn.

    And, if all the doomsaying about chatbots were actually true, no job is safe anyhow and going to a school like this is just fucking yourself twice over. Study for yourself, not for the piece of paper you get at the end.

      No, I believe most IT degrees are like that. They teach theory over practical applications.

      Which is fair in some part because it’s hard to be vendor agnostic with practical skills.
