I'm curious, can you be a seasoned programmer while being an electric engineer?

What's the point of getting a STEM degree if Pajeet can do any technical job, but cheaper.
Julian Johnson
CS degree is a kind of hot-pot with discrete math, hardware bits, algorithms, theory, programming, engineering and stuff like that. It's all good to know, but at the same time totally irrelevant for the job at hand.
The EEs I met had a bit weirder view on software, they were kind of put of by any abstraction and had absolutely no sense for an overall design. They thought in assembly.
If you want to build something bigger, get at least on CS guy on the team.

So sad she stopped after one video...

Well, most pajeets are incompetent because they come from diploma mills.
Also technology is cool i guess

So that you can bruteforce job security by writing critical programs in an advanced or uncommon nature that EE code monkeys will never be able to understand and that alao makes management scared to ever replace you or challenge any demands you make regarding pay and benefits.
It can be literally anything too. Do something retarded like incorporating Lisp usage into a Django stack that performs database api calls and does some threaded ML analysis to feed results into a webpage and you can pretty much demand $500K from your employer on the spot simply because your average code monkey wont be able to pick up the pieces if you walk.
Joseph Rogers
Did you do that?
Adrian Powell
No, I majored in EE.
Logan Phillips
ah-bloo-bloo
Ryan Thomas
Actually, isn't a math degree more important to be a programmer since you need strong logic for it?
Adrian Perry
no
Austin Reyes
Probably rebelling against her parents.
Dylan Taylor
Math degree is just the best degree in general.
The best parts of CS are just math.

Hopefully her father disowned her and took away her inheritance.

My algorithms class was super easy because I majored in math and did a lot of proofs. Algorithms are basically proofs. Ofcourse lots of things are different but the thought processes are very similar.
Anthony Kelly
Also EEs have a lot of trouble in algo class.
Justin Wright
Depends. EE is a ridiculously big field spanning from power systems and RF to VLSI, embedded development, and low level software development. I have one EE professor who worked in analog systems his whole career and the only thing software related he does is spice scripting, another professor who hates C, barely knows it, and for some reason teaches a microcontroller class, and another professor who has a BS in EE, an MS in CS, and teaches operating systems, reverse engineering, and some hardware classes.
David Gutierrez
lol
But on the flipside I'm majoring in EE and can write C that senior CS majors could never, ever understand.
Isaac Allen
It makes as much sense as living, since you gona die anyway so... run off and kys?
Ryder Nguyen
EE majors do not cover things like design and analysis of algorithms, languages and automata, syntax and semantics of languages, etc
Really, I don't trust EEs to write anything more than mangled assembly code that may or may not contain bugs.
>b-but muhhh hardware optimisations
Huh? Optimising compilers work well enough and are getting better.
Actually, I'd rather have my programs be well-written and bug-free rather than performant. In fact, it is electrical engineers why we can't go past 5GHz easily, it's their job to keep making hardware faster.
>b-buuut muh bloated apps
Literally just buy more RAM, the more we keep away from low-level hacks, the more we stick to abstract and correct forms of code.

>slow as fuck, despite having resources of 1980's supercomputer
>but muh hardware is so slow, it's all sparkies fault, I graduated on top of my algorithm class, my code is perfect
Code written by EEs is probably most bug-free software in existence right now. Nobody dies if your browser crashes twice a day. You can't do this with hardware/embedded systems. If it fails, people die. That's also why code is kept simple and all optimizations are disabled. You need guaranteed execution time and determinism.
>it is electrical engineers why we can't go past 5GHz easily, it's their job to keep making hardware faster
That 5 GHz is just some number for you which doesn't even seem that high, right? In reality you're dealing with about 5 times that frequency (fifth harmonic) to have reasonable rise times. Signals that propagate through your circuit then go up to 25 GHz. Working at this frequencies is an advanced black magic.

lmao what university are you going to? The british university of new delhi?

That's not something to be bragging about.

be like me and get a degree in EE and CE
