You did what you wanted to do. Why a video on that? Each one does what is good for them

Because you're an idiot.

interviews are all leetcode these days. Fang don't care about anything else, just stupid puzzles.

the cs program is way too easy at cmu, congratulation you dropped out

It's more like a math class where you get sucked in with coding in the beginning and then suddenly you're proving things

vid is true to its description. a useful cautionary memo for anyone in any program. ie. give it a go, with your best effort. if it doesn't work out, at least it's not because of lack of effort.

Similar to UPenn, many wanted to do a minor in Wharton business school

"I took an intro to machine learning but I didn't like it because it was math" Bro, what reality do you live in 😂

I'm in my senior year of high school, and something I've realized over the last few months is similar to what's being presented here - my "passion" for "computer science" was actually just UX design under the hood I have the same problem of not really enjoying practicing leetcode or doing "those" types of problems, meanwhile the way I got into coding was making websites and Discord bots -- that's ALL just UX design if you really think about it, I also started to realize the "CS" class in my high school is basically just another art class to me, much more so than anything to do with STEM, they basically just taught more frontend web dev, and good software design/practices, but didn't really focus on algorithms/logical thinking or what actual CS is so going into uni, I've still picked some cs-related programs to apply to, but also a handful of art/media/visual design related things

can you name some of the cmu free online cs courses ?

Great Video!

I graduated Pitt with a degree in math. I took a couple programming classes. Tougher than my Discrete Math and Real Analysis courses. The CS program at CMU , our next door neighbor is legendary, and that's not sn exagg. I credit you for your work AND your wisdom to change direction!!

Nice. I’m still doing it.

computer science graduate, 90% of them cant code.

When I started college for a bachelor's in 3d and animation I didn't even know how to turn on a computer. I thought if I turned it off incorrectly it might break. 4 years later I had built my own computer and learned a bunch of programs. It's doable you just need to work hard and understand that you have to put in a lot of work to get good at it.

I proceeded to acquire a double major from the University of Maryland and I could not be any happier. My academic disciplines' were; Cyber Security/Information Assurance and my 2nd degree is now, Information Systems Management. These two degrees have helped me so much in my post academics and with my employment opportunities

thank you for sharing your story :)

CMU with a cs degree and master now here. I think CMU is a great place for a lot of people, including me. However, I feel like if your goal is to get a great career, academic performance does little to help you past a point. I know a lot of people who got better careers without being stressed out with the insane CS courses. It really depends on your existing resources, like experiences and abilities. If you have no stand out experience or abilities, CMU CS is probably the best place to grind your way up, in the world.

I double majored in Math and Physics - started in 1985. I preffered Aerospace, but that was a tight job market. I knew that I'd likely end up in the software industry due to massive growth, but felt that CS was too narrow. Academia was still learning how to teach CS back then (still meh at it). I took CS I and learned nothing. Rumor on campus a year later ran about a new great teacher. I took her course and learned everything I needed to know.

Most make the mistake of choosing a BS instead of a BCSA. A Bachelor of Computer Science and Arts is still a valid computer science degree and will teach you most the modern popular concepts of computer programming with only like 1-2 math courses. Just a tip, anytime you choose a BS (Bachelor of Science) - it's similiar to saying "I passionately love math with all my heart".

I did CS but didn’t go down the software engineering route. Instead, I do DevSecOps in AWS, which is more IT. I really enjoy problem solving, and I still do a good amount of scripting with Python/boto3 and declarative programming with Terraform. It’s a good balance and I would recommend it for a lot of CS majors who don’t want to only code for the rest of your life!!

that is dumb

cope

Sounds like the issue was trying to cram challenging courses in a schedule based around less challenging courses. Simple solution is to graduate later and prepare and pre-study harder courses. It also seems that you had minimal build up into the tougher courses, you came into the PhD track machine learning courses having no idea what machine learning actually was. It's an understandable mistake in undergrad and cannot fault you for not taking every single tough course you have, Like it's great that it worked out very well but also the lost opportunity of having the version of yourself who can confidently that he made the changes to handle these challenges is something to mourning,.

No, you are not dumb. Don’t let things define who are.

No, you are dumb.

2nd year CS student rn and dude I relate so much on CS homework making you feel so intellectually stupid.

because you can't finish what you start

come form the why i dropped cmu cs episode , thinking you're just "passionate " about anime but it turns out that you've really dedicated into it ! while catching a line of chinese on your screen 😂 just get a touch of how difficult it is to express my ideas beyond the books in english . though sometime you were stuck , language didn't get in your way . respect ! let me practice speaking more and maybe one day i can start an anime club in uni or sth

Not sure if u will read this comment, but did cmu give u any support when u were suffering from stress.

The basic qualifications for the Data Engineer Internship is bachelor's degree in CS? So if I am a sophomore, can I apply? Thank you very much

I could not agree more with the video as an IS major at CMU who just decided to quit CS. Thanks for making this video!! I feel like many of us here have imposter syndrome and watching this video finally makes me feel that I am not alone.

im getting a little lucky here in that I've completed all of my math/science classes at seton hill before I transfer off to Pitt for comp science/ electrical and computer engineering. discrete math was the last one I took, even after doing calc 4 and physics 3. discrete is just brain bending and I also lived in office hours. I'm doing most of my CS stuff at seton hill currently an dhonestly I feel like I'm learning absolutely nothing in class. I have to use outside tools where I am learning everything from (code academy)

To summarize the video: he couldn’t handle the stress, so he quit.

how can I connect with you on LinkedIn? Thank You.

Great Post. You demonstrated great courage in telling it like it is and sharing your experience at CMU, especially about your mental health environment after spending too long studying, without being able to enjoy life by chilling out. I'm sure that you inspired others to think that their similar experience at CMU or other learning institutions, was validated. Life is far too short to stress out doing the things you love doing. It's important to be able to learn at your own pace. You may not win any awards, but at least you will have your health and happiness. That's what counts in the long term.

I am studing information technology in monash and it is much worse than cmu though still too hard for me to pass the courses. But I still try to finish it due to i could get a well paid job and easier to get a PR😢. There is no time to relax yourself during studing IT. My parents are employee so I have don't think economy or accounting useful for me. My mother language is chinese, so I is too hard to study ARTS to do the pre readings😢.

i had the same experience with chime today :(

Nice I miss Flushing

Jesus loves you!! Accept him today!!!

Which major did you end up graduating with? Also if you don’t have a CS major, on you r resume its fine to put just all the technical skills? That gets you the interviews?

Is CMU offering Software engineering degree?

Can you tell us a bit about your experience in taking IS at CMU and how is the job prospect outlook.

Your audio could be louder.👍

Lol none the classes you showed at the start that you dropped were CS all like IS or stats or Stu co or writing lmao

Thank you for your honest & very insightful review about double majoring in CS at CMU !!

Great honest assessment. Truth is not always easy to say. Good job.
