University was a complete waste of time

[Agoraphobic]

Pot have to find outside uni. If wait for uni to get education in ganja, its a little too late. Secondary school is where it should begin.

Cheers!

You forgot smoking pot!

You SME or MNC? Pay can rival Sake sushi dish washer of 3K per month boh?

Much more than this. If you have the skillsets i am looking for.

I have come to the realization that I have wasted much precious years studying Computer Science in university. Let me explain myself.

Whatever knowledge and skills I have acquired in school seem entirely irrelevant to what the IT industry (which is constantly booming with new technologies in any case) is seeking presently. They are only interested in hiring folks who can code in newer programming languages, or possess a strong foundation as far as the latest frameworks and APIs are concerned. The job advertisements I encountered thus far mostly demand proficiency in ReactNative, Angular, Tomcat, MongoDB etc. A very small handful want experienced hands in basic stuff such as Java, c++, SQL etc.

Yeah, I did thoroughly learn and appreciate the science behind how a computer exactly works in university; everything from hardware integration with low level languages to operating systems and systems development life cycles . Truth is, companies do not give two hoots about all these "junk trivia" , as I discovered from the interviews I attended during this while. People there are only keen in knowing whether you are absolutely articulate in some fashionable programming language, or whether you are able to genuinely add value to their enterprises. Nobody really cares if you are one glorious walking history textbook capable of regurgitating technical facts of the past. Oh fyi they did administer some coding assessments by the way, admittedly I didn't fare well in any of them.

If you graduate from university and found a job flipping burgers at McDonald’s you too would think that a university education is useless. The point is that if you are in a job that “demands proficiency in ReactNative, Angular, Tomcat, MongoDB etc,” you are the equivalent of a burger flipper in the tech industry. If you had played it well you would be managing people who manage people who are proficient in ReactNative, Angular, Tomcat, MongoDB etc. Don’t blame your personal failure on university education.

Flipping burgers is a job relegated to the machines... haven't you heard of Caliburgers?

This is a real intelligent observation.

Imagine you are the astronaut about to ride TianGong 10Plus on a journey to orbit the moon and come back. The people building the rockets and planning the trajectory did not take a university course in Newtonian mechanics.

It is not certain you would get a glimpse of ChangEr before flying to Pluto and never to return.

Kills brain cells. Those smoke pot in sec school will never make it to uni. This smoke pot in uni never make it in real life.

Those smoke pot generally cannot make it. Have to go to places like Singapore for work

Here is my video resume, I got a special particular set of skills

5 years ago PC phones coy decided on W3C format use html5 CSS and JS to clean up the mess.

Just imagine coders hv to learn so many codings to design a UI. Google uses Java, Apple uses Objective C++, and raspberry pie codings uses by Jap.

Coders or developers decide what they find quick and easy to codes in mobile phones and bang use JS. Btw, change in mobile phone UI uses SPA (Single Page Application) just simply scroll in one page (document). The PC webpage is hard to view in small screen phone so change to passive viewing is needed.

This screwed up coding big time and W3C standard was adopted.

From there onwards is all JS coding.

What you see demand for React or Angular4 coders are simply offshoot of JS.

Just need to learn JS well the React (created by Facebook) is just simply add the keyword React.object.value in front of the basic JS.

AngularJS1 was created by Google was a mess and AngularJS2 fixed up the mess. Angular4 Will get into a mess soon.

There are NodeJS, commonJS, VueJS, and more are just kaykiang coders want try something new but will never make it.

Wait till you get An neh versions will screw up big time.

There is one new JS that write into the server side. No need downloaded JS into yr mobile phone.

See simi lanjiao Americans come up with unsustainable programs better China invade US with nuke and leave that land toxic for 500 years to clean up angmoh mess.

I think you can change your view of potheads. Now that legalization is imminent, potheads are mainstream, no longer a social misfit freak case anymore.

Wah lan eh, u study computer science and u expect things to remain stagnant?

Even the bottom feeder roles such as HR need to be updated every few months!

Not everyone smokes cigarettes which causes lung cancet. Similarly not everyone smokes pot which kills brain cells. Also not everyone drinks alcohol which damages the liver and causes fetal alcohol syndrome.

Doesn't matter if it is legal. It's still a bad thing for your body.

It's like saying oh let's legalize fentanyl. Lol.
