It amazes me the sheer number of developers whose hands I need to hold for even the most basic tasks that my elderly mother even knows how to do. I’ve worked in tech for about 15 years, and the terms “developer” and “tech nerd/enthusiast” used to be synonymous, but over the years, that’s less and less true.
The tech nerds use to be the ones getting CS degrees. Now it seems like it’s just another degree for indecisive majors and most of the kids I see starting out today aren’t passionate about tech - it’s just a degree/paycheck. It’s just baffling to me lol. I work in support, and most folks on my end are big tech nerds still.
As a current computer science college student who was a TA for 2 semesters, can confirm… It’s wild out here
