I’ve put away all distractions (PC, locked apps/websites on phone ) to try and lock in for getting ready for my placement season which starts in 2 months...but gues what I just ended up day dreaming and staring at my wall for whole day

I’m trying so hard to try and take control and get shit done so I can get the job that I want or something because i feel i,m so much behind my peers but I just can’t.
I’m considering taling to a friend or going on a short walk so I can have a little bit of a mental break, but even if i do that after that break I just end up wandering around the house doing random things and feeling guilty that I’m not studying (and haven’t even started to) when others have been doing so for months.

I need help with managing this because it’s driving me insane and i’m all over the place.

Any advice appreciated, thanks in advance

I'm a student in Computer science and engineering, and while I genuinely like coding, but now ....I can't help but feel anxious about how fast Al is moving.

It's already handling a lot of junior-level tasks, but it feels like universities are still stuck teaching stuff from five years ago.

Looking online just confuses me more because the advice is all over the place.....some people say great devs will always be needed, while others say coding jobs are going to change completely.

I'd love to get some honest perspective from people actually working in tech right now, especially if you use Al every day.

If you were starting completely over in 2026, would you still bother learning to code?

What skills would you actually focus on, and what do you think the industry will look like in a few years?

Americans, What do you think of Senator John Kennedy's act proposal to Take away Congress pay during government shutdowns?
