"I don't quite know how to put this, but our entire field is bad at what we do, and if you rely on us everyone will die"
"They say they've fixed it with something called <del>blockchain</del> AI"
"Bury it in the desert. Wear gloves"
Honestly, this is absurdly funny, but it makes me wonder whether we'll ever see Computer Science and Computer Engineering as seriously as other branches of STEM. I've been debating recently whether I should keep working in this field, after years of repeatedly seeing incompetence and complacency create disastrous effects in the real world.
Oftentimes, I wonder if the world wouldn't be a bit better without the last 10 or 15 years of computer technology.
