Why do people use the outer/inner thigh machines by sitting forward and putting their arms on the machine?

Title. I see people sitting in the ‘front half’ of the seat (like their booty isn’t sat all the way back into the seat) and reach their arms out to grab the machine, while doing the reps. How is this any different or beneficial from sitting back and doing the reps?

Is a masters in UX UI design as useful/useless as a SWE master?

Hello! 👋

Context: working in defense. Not really interested in FANG companies at this point in my career. I’m a software developer at my company n my first degree is in CS. One day it could be cool to get a masters.

Question: if I want to pursue a UX/UI design masters, is that as useful/useless as a SWE masters? I say ‘useless’ because of how f* ‘d the market is. If I had to find a new job, would they look at the candidate the same if they had a masters in UX vs SWE?

I do have interest in UX and design- admittedly probably moreso than programming as a whole. While I enjoy full stack development at my job, usability is a topic that always seems to interest me and I’ve been told I have a good prowess for that.

I haven’t taken any UX focused classes beyond the intro one from my CS program. But if I’m getting the masters paid thru the company, feel like it’d be fun to explore it. Development for me has always been relatively fulfilling but I’m not sure if I’d say I’m ‘passionate’ about it lol. So I’d rather do a masters in something that is more interesting to me.

Thoughts?
