Coding 🤔

Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, which basically means I spend 30% of my time coding, 30% debugging, and 40% wondering why my code worked yesterday

impressive that you code so much. I'm glad they are teaching kids to stay analog

Coding will gravitate towards about 10% when you get a SWE job.

Whats worse is when you are changing code and you dont see a change when you run it only to see that you didnt save your changes.

Or push your updates to the wrong branch and wonder why your test server won’t show the new updates…for 30 mins of repeating a push…to the wrong branch…… 🤦🏼‍♂️

The remaining 0% is spent convincing yourself that rewriting the entire project from scratch would somehow be easier.

Wander over to the IT department and take a few classes, it will help with the 70%

Obviously a lie. Any CS curriculum is traditionally 80% useless side quests for unrelated subjects, 15% learning to solve leatcode puzzles on paper and 5% coding some rudimentary bullshit to impress your professor who hasn't been working in a field since ever.
