Might want to consider Electrical/Computer Engineering at uni if you like computers but not compsci as such
That's my field, though I also basically do coding, but it's for hardware systems and stuff. There's a lot of cool stuff going on in ECE (comp arch, low power designs, accelerators etc.)
(I love compsci, just wanted hardware) -
@RememberMe no, I love comp-sci, but the students in my class were given an option: no breaks at ALL and come back home earlier or have normal breaks, and they chose the first option.
It was jack shit. -
@OmerFlame lol. Fairly natural tbh, I would probably do that too. Work done earlier = better
-
@RememberMe thing is, it was stuff that I already knew so I was bored without breaks.
-
@OmerFlame fair enough. Yeah compsci in school is generally useless. You just need to suffer through it till you hit undergrad, from then on it really picks up.
-
Compsci is not boring for those who don’t have extensive experience in the general computer logic field.
But I started my learning process 6.5 years ago... -
@OmerFlame tbh there's value in structured learning. Even if you've been doing it for ages on your own, school will be a lot more systematic about it and will cover stuff you missed (like data structures, eh :p)
-
@OmerFlame you sound unnecessarily defensive lol
Chill man. It's natural to get worn tf out having to sit through lectures you already know. For the fourth time I had to sit through a HTML 101 lecture. Took all of 3 mins for me to zone out.
Also, @RememberMe is right about no breaks. I'd have taken that too. Power through that shit and being free earlier is without a doubt better than having a few breaks -
@RememberMe I learned data structures and that is exactly what we are learning right now.
They WILL teach me binary trees though, and that I will learn from them.

Today we had so much comp-sci at school that it actually became distasteful. And this comes from someone who is considered to be a big enthusiast and hype about computers...

too much coding
distasteful
