minus-squareDeepus@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoIve worked with a few people that had completed CS degrees that couldnt do basic troubleshooting. One of them still works for my old employer and ive been informed that hes still as bad as the first day they hired him!

minus-squaredewritoninja@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·1 year agoZipping a folder is on of the most basic features of any os. It’s weird that he was so unfamiliar with computers and decided to get into compsci
minus-squareCortell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoIt’s what happens when everyone says it’s a moneymaker. Most of them transfer out of the program after first year
minus-squareMrMonkey@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down5·1 year agoZipping a folder has 0 to do with compsci in the first place. Unless it’s a course on compression.
minus-squareMrMonkey@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoSo you should only major in things you already know? Any decent compsci program starts out assuming the student knows nothing. Besides computer science is about math, not actually interacting with a specific os.
