@puck@mastodon.nz @jason @vie@hachyderm.io @theotherbrook@sunny.garden timing is not quite right on "20 years ago": that was 2006 and enrollments were still pretty tiny post dotcom bust. (source: I was on the faculty job market in 2006.) Maybe 10-15 years ago is closer.

@va2lam@mastodon.nz @puck@mastodon.nz @jason @vie@hachyderm.io 20 wasn’t intended to be a precise number, but based on my experience going into a non-CS master’s program in 2008, I think that year a lot of people pivoted to tech and tech-adjacent fields because finance was in a shambles.
