Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide. My main argument to choose blockchain is the easy entry with little experience and high salary, I plan on growing my skills during the bear market and get a job once the market recovers. Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

AI can be more data science than computer science tbh. But there are graduate CS programs that focus on AI. You could specialize in cryptography (blockchain is just a data structure) but those are mostly master’s program classes

I’ll be honest though, entry level either of those are gonna be tough to pull off. You take what you can get for your first job.

I need to vent.

We've had a bunch of customer reports of some text having the same color as the background on some products when the user is configured in X mode. They were totally right. I created a task to change the background color to something more appropriate. I thought it would be trivial, so I assigned it to a junior.

It's taken them 2 weeks to complete. We're still getting customer complaints about it. No one can explain why it took 2 weeks to complete.

Ugh.
