:-( :-( :-( So sorry for your nephew. That must especially suck after probably being told his whole life what a sure thing a CS degree was.
Somehow it feels like a drawbridge is being pulled up... but maybe having these thinking skills will seem quaint to them in the future. Like COBOL to my generation. 🙃

@elizayer@mastodon.social Yeah, it was a tough year for him. He is getting an MSc in Computer Science now, doubling down on it and seeing if he can restart the clock on internships and new grad roles. I really, really hope his new network in the UK can help him more. 2024 in the Bay Area was such a womp womp for these kids who did see it as a sure thing. I got here via liberal arts, so who knows…
