r/csMajors 1,400 applications, 700 Leetcode problems, top C.S. school and my parents are kicking me out. I think I'm done with computer science. Then the next post is like 1 application, 300K Combat Meta Base salary. I can use to describe this subreddit or slash C.S. Majors is genuinely a cesspool. On one hand, you have, like, the top Echelon of individuals getting all the opportunities in the world, and then you just have the chads, man. Like, who are just grinding away and just not getting anything. If like, computer science had like, a iceberg of, like, horrible things, R slash C.S. Majors is right above, like, Temple O.S. If you don't know what I'm talking about, good. If you do, then that means you've reached the bottom of despair. The only direction is up. Uh, trust me, you'll get better. You'll get better.
