@vaporeon_ so software engineers have something to learn while getting their master's degree

@wallhackio ... I learned lots of worthwhile things in my studies that aren't UML diagrams

Such as [in basic terms] how CPU works, how Ethernet & TCP/IP & HTTP works
How to parse things in order to build a compiler (but I have forgotten most of it :blobcatverysad: )
Haskell and functional programming concepts
Assembly
Numerical calculations for science and how to do them efficiently
Various neat low-level programming that you get to do in the IT security courses

@vaporeon_ i was exaggerating. there are plenty of useful things to learn in computer science program

@vaporeon_ unfortunately my undergrad program taught us java for the introductory classes :clodsire_angy:

@wallhackio I guess a lot of businesses use Java and therefore if the goal is to find any computer touching job at all, it's useful to know Java?

Though I'd be very unhappy if my job required writing Java...

Follow

@vaporeon_ a really good job opportunity that just opened up for me is, unfortunately, a java backend job
