Hi all, hope you're doing well.
I'm a CS major (3rd year in a 4 year degree) wanting to pivot into embedded, getting away from all these full-stack web-dev AI-powered nonsense that the software industry is offering.
My goal is to first get an internship / co-op role in embedded. However, I'm at a loss:
Thanks to my university being shitty (very light workload), I get a LOT of free time to build projects, so that section should be fine. Mainly, I'm worried about the other parts of my resume - considering all of it is currently software development stuff right now, which I imagine wouldn't matter at all to a systems employer.
I'm currently learning C / C++ and Linux on my own, and buying a STM32 board to build projects upon. Is there anything else I should be worried about?
Thank you!
We were assigned a physics project in school together and she came over to finish it with me. I almost finished in her shoes. God I’m pathetic. Homemade japanese curry is fire though, i really enjoyed it
My university offers a course in Computer Organization (semiconductors, gates and circuits, buses...), I'm not sure if this course is beneficial for a career in Graphics, though I heard it's important to have a good understanding of the GPU and computer hardwares.
On one hand my university only offers one (1) graphics course (Introduction to Graphic Programming), on the other hand I don't really know what CS courses to take for graphics - I've no idea what math courses to take, either (I only took Calc 1 + Linear Alg 1&2, thought tha's enough and I can self-study the rest).
I'm in my senior years now and have basically no mandatory courses left; but I have no idea how to move forward. Every CS course here is irrelevant to graphics; and I don't know if it's worth to study math, as I heard Calc + Linear Alg is enough. I'd really appreciate some help and advice; thank you so much!
US, Rising junior, 400+ apps, finally got this SWE internship at a no-name tech company. It's unpaid so I was given a lot of freedom; but meanwhile I was learning so much with my mentor.
Then, long story short, our manager decided to finally adapt an "AI-first workflow", meaning most of the team will cease to code manually, and instead be reviewing and rewriting Claude output. I was of no exception, all I do now is stare at Claude, give instructions, add stuff to context, and wait for it to repeat the same mistake again.
Some new members (or contracts) were already replaced by AI; I'm doing the job that one of the them were doing before their layoff. So I'm doing both this internship, AND this person's job, both are mostly vibe coding.
I try to write manual code whenever possible, since that's the whole point of this internship, but I know since I'm an intern my speed and efficiency will be really bad, and will never catch up with the seniors (who's orchestrating 3-4 agents simultaneously). Eventually I'll have to give in and start ctrl c ctrl v Claude code.
I don't know if this internship is worth doing anymore. I fought so much and spent endless nights grinding for it, but now it seems I'll just be a prompt engineer and nothing else. My skills are deteriorating since I'm not using them - not like I have any fucking skills to start with, I'm supposed to learn this shit in this internship.
This video by Alexa Fazio (a SWE I admire) perfectly captures my feeling: https://youtu.be/5xVlqJjkYck?si=lUfFC5v2liHd-BNG
Just a rant. I'm interning at a biotech company, during one of the meetings, the project manager said she wanted to show us something "fascinating".
Then for the next 30 minutes, she proceeded to screenshare how Cursor & Claude are able to complete the mockup of a new component we're supposed to develop. You can feel the irritation building up among the dev team (FE mostly but a couple BE engineers also showed skepticism); and of course after the prompt engineering session, the PM was bombarded by questions from the team. All valid accusations.
The BE team kept their composure but our private FE gc was exploding in the mean time; I was kinda scared cuz the AI seems pretty capable of replacing me and finishing what I do (as an intern). We've never allowed AI into our workflow before (which is kinda rare in the big '26) but the PM seems determined. She'll have to go through the whole FE team though.
I spent a lot of effort to get this internship but today's scrum really left a mark. I can't imagine how some senior devs felt when they were replaced by "coding agents" (massive layoffs recently). But yeah, just ranting, it's pretty entertaining to watch.
