oh based luckbot plays minecraft <:pewish:395515961874055168>

2019-05-24 19:38:23 UTC  

I've only got a master's degree in EE

2019-05-24 19:38:38 UTC  

Yes. The good way to play it: 1.7.10 modded until it breaks

2019-05-24 19:38:49 UTC  

some time ago, I started a PhD course (as it'd been my ambition for some time then) but soon realised academia is _not_ for me

2019-05-24 19:38:57 UTC  

I respect x100 times more EE people than CS trannies

2019-05-24 19:39:27 UTC  

computer science and the IT sector in general is for low T people

2019-05-24 19:39:33 UTC  

Me too, gonna start the PhD this summer, but I think it is the right thing for me. At least I loved the projects I did on the side

2019-05-24 19:40:06 UTC  

cool cool

2019-05-24 19:40:09 UTC  

there are so many other STEM fields that are so much more versatile

2019-05-24 19:40:43 UTC  

I was thinking of starting again maybe, this time as an external ph.d. candidate, with corporate backing/financing

2019-05-24 19:40:49 UTC  

somewhere in Germany

2019-05-24 19:40:53 UTC  

cs trannies are the worst tbh

2019-05-24 19:40:57 UTC  

EE is literally math and upon ~5th semester they expect you to program without teaching it before 😄

2019-05-24 19:41:01 UTC  

I don't know. We'll see.

2019-05-24 19:41:12 UTC  

tbh CS is utter shit. The only reason Im here is because I couldn't enter an engineering school

2019-05-24 19:41:29 UTC  

Oh I do have a corporate backing. Basically our field offers no jobs without

2019-05-24 19:41:36 UTC  

I've certainly got more than enough experience in DSP research.

2019-05-24 19:41:50 UTC  

But on the other hand if you're not a js/python brainlet you're very valuable in companies. The last company I worked in was genuinely impressed by my Java and C skills

2019-05-24 19:42:08 UTC  

what do you specialize in? @Luckbot

2019-05-24 19:42:23 UTC  

CS is big cash. Backend software devs get showered in money

2019-05-24 19:42:38 UTC  

Control Theory and Automation

2019-05-24 19:42:51 UTC  

cool, that's very close to what I'm doing

2019-05-24 19:42:58 UTC  

@Luckbot I hope :D My next internship should be COBOL and Java EE in a bank (if I'm accepted)

2019-05-24 19:43:03 UTC  

Mostly did control optimization for powerplants and other energy supply

2019-05-24 19:43:08 UTC  

right

2019-05-24 19:43:37 UTC  

I've had to refresh and expand my knowledge in control theory recently

2019-05-24 19:43:40 UTC  

But right now I automate public pools xD

2019-05-24 19:44:00 UTC  

as one of the projects I've been working on has a lot to do with system identification

2019-05-24 19:44:12 UTC  

And do the front end. Programm buttons to trigger a filter flushing...

2019-05-24 19:44:22 UTC  

Ah nice

2019-05-24 19:44:32 UTC  

whats with these non-pings

2019-05-24 19:45:05 UTC  

of course it's nothing new for me but, you know, DSP nomenclature and methods of analysis are a bit different from those used in control theory

2019-05-24 19:46:17 UTC  

Yeah noticed that 😄 I made a big circle around DSP and HF in university and never touched it after looking into the basics of wave equations

2019-05-24 19:47:18 UTC  

>CS is big cash. Backend software devs get showered in money
compared to the level of knowledge required - yes

2019-05-24 19:48:17 UTC  

but mathematical modelling of control systems etc. is also rather lucrative

2019-05-24 19:48:36 UTC  

few people can do this, even fewer do it well and they're in BIG demand

2019-05-24 19:49:47 UTC  

same for HDL experts

2019-05-24 19:50:16 UTC  

Definitely yes. Shitty company is shitty because we are utterly understaffed. We'd need like three times as many people to properly do jobs and not just make everyone the girl for everything

2019-05-24 19:50:22 UTC  

any moron can _program_

2019-05-24 19:50:51 UTC  

but describing a piece of hardware using a hardware design language requires a strong EE background

2019-05-24 19:50:54 UTC  

My only problem is that I'm inflexible about location
