Ask HN: What is your advice to current CS students?

2•aavci•1h ago
What is your advice that you would give to current CS students given that the job market is different to what it was and programming is now a very different craft?

No idea. I can't imagine being in that position as a young college-bound student these days.

A cynic might say "Learn to mine coal."

I wouldn't change the advice much. Learning fundamentals is still critical (data structures, algorithms, etc).

But I would add two things:

Learn to use tools like opencode. (It's a whole class of tools, and you're at an advantage over peers who don't know how to use them).

For any feature, make sure you can code it entirely without help from an LLM. You should still be able to read manuals, docs, etc to find what you need.
