No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

depends on how motivated you are: the fact that you are going to university compared to a bootcamp, you're already at an advantage. since universities have career events. if you go to career events, connect with recruiters or engineers, you're guaranteed an interview spot, so long as you maintain a good educational background for the first few years of employment. Do you know how many CS majors have the same skills if not more than you? Too many to count. The difference is you have friends.
one other note that is completely unrelated, I will mention CS is similar to a lot of other sciences. It's broad in scope until maybe third or fourth year where you actually apply your knowledge to build (for example) an OS. I'm doing my third year in EE, the things I've learned the projects that I've done, brought me to a threshold where if I truly wanted to I could build my own assembly language in system verilog for my basys3 FPGA board.
my point is, by the end of your program, you will see it's all EECE and I will say "it always has been" [insert astronaught meme]. Both are excellent programs, just keep your mind open to options if you think CS is to broad like how physics for me was to broad.
I have several CS majors in my electronics and circuits class because they enjoy working with microcontrollers, IC circuits, and embedded systems over X86 programming. The only things that's stopping them from switching to EECE is their scholarships, which has only been approved for the CS program. With EECE you have an idea of what you want to do instead of just becoming a "software developer" or "web developer". Whether that be the processing of rf signals for telecommunications, or using FPGA's to capture collision events of particles inside a particle accelerator, you have the knowledge and practical experience with said knowledge to apply it to the problem at hand.
