Estonia is implementing a new education program that will have 100 percent of publicly educated students learning to write code.
ProgreTiiger education will start with students in the first grade, which starts around the age of 7 or 8 for Estonians. The compsci education will continue through a student’s final years of public school...

I hope that never happens to programming.

Maybe I should study Architecture in school instead of EECS...

I decided I would switch majors and start pursuing my new civil engineering major, since I'm tired of the [b][i]ENTERPRISE[/i][/b] bullshit and I've always been a transport autist.

Let's switch majors together, >>21-kun.

programming is not something someone should be encouraged to go into professionally. it's extremely boring and extremely unrewarding, probably the worst profession one could have.

I've been using computers since I was very young. That's why I thought it would be a good idea to enroll in a computer related major.

I was wrong, all I found was exactly the stuff I don't like to do with computers, like ``le software engineering XD java" and ``le cloud XD".

What exactly were you expecting?

Hardcore math, assembly hacking, video games, writing an OS in Haskell and all that cool stuff probably.

That's computer science. Software engineering is a different discipline.

Computer "Science"
Software "Engineering"

No.

Actually, it has to do with the peculiar "computer engineering" programs in my country. Our "computer engineering" includes lot of math (fun), intermediate programming (fun while it lasted), and ENTERPRISE development + economics + PROJECT MANAGEMENT + USE CASES + UML (not fun at all).

I expected >>27, but got a weird mixture between computer engineering, computer science, software engineering and code monkeying.
