Why even bother, right? Here we are, floating on a tiny blue dot in the cosmos, and I'm supposed to care about Python? Python was once the new Latin, they said. Now, it's just a snake in a world of robotic mongooses. Or is it mongeese?
Remember when AI was just a bogeyman in nerdy bedtime stories? Well, now it's stealing jobs from coders faster than I contemplate the sweet release of death every Monday morning. They used to tell every brainy kid to learn to code, promising a future so bright you'd need shades. Ha! Good one.
So, 2025 is here, and it's chaos in classrooms. Kids don’t want to code; they want to "vibe check" the data. Like Benjamin Raspberry (or some admin guy at a school), who's seen the STEM path explode from a straight line into a Jackson Pollock painting. AI’s practically breathing down our necks, and our response? Let's analyze police data and talk about math’s feelings!
Forty years ago, you wanted to work for NASA because space is awesome. Ten years ago, it was all about Google and free lunches. Now? It's AI’s world; we're just living in it. So, we've shifted from creating code to interpreting what the heck AI thinks it’s doing — a bit like explaining memes to your grandparents.
And kid, if you're reading this while considering a computer science degree, good luck. Those degrees dropped faster than my will to live after turning thirty.
To wrap up this existential joke before I tragically choke on a pretzel alone in my apartment, let’s just say, coding's future looks about as bright as a solar eclipse. Wear your shades, or don't — what’s the point, really?
