I am about to finish my CS degree and I've learned nothing, I only know basic coding. Should I kill myself?

where did you attend? You should be slightly competent at worst.
No, do as I did when it was you, Buy a C++20 compdendium book and start reading.
After you're done reading, write a simple game engine with enough abstraction to be modular.
Use threads templates and meta wherever possible. This will increase your skill dramatically.
This is how I learned C++ within four months.
I'm not telling you to learn the entirety of STL which is impossible. You'll learn how to use STL proficiently while writing your game engine and that's the whole point.

C++maxxing might be better than web dev at this point, and I'm being 100% serious
C++? Yeah I think I'm killing myself

every motherfricker and his dog has a "cs" degree in a market full of cs degrees and people with mediocre computer skills.
coding isn't hard to learn, you were supposed to pay attention to the architectural stuff and formalisms so you can make better designs
That's all you need to get a lot of junior jobs. Just think of random apps to make and make them.
Nothing special - make a basic little game, find an API online like weather or spotify and present the data in a palatable way, anything you can think of. Just make shit that you can fill out a portfolio and keep learning new shit online. Your degree is basically a bouncing board to get you started. You're on your own now, Anon.
Is Python a good language for little projects like that? I can program in C++ but i fricking hate it
It's literally fine anon.
Uni is not there to really teach you shit in-depth, it's there to
>teach you how to learn new shit quickly and be able to find information fast
>be in an environment with like-minded and autistic people
>profs often are full-time researchers with hundreds of papers that also give lectures to you, they do research on cutting edge shit that might be used in 5/10 years worldwide and you have the possibility to collaborate on one of their projects
For everything else you need to learn it yourself.
>b-b-but I got a $500k debt for this shit
Fair price
>it's fine bro
Right but when I asked you guys the same question OP just did, you told me it was over
are your friends like that too?
Actually yes most of them
Based
don't know don't care, it's more lazyness that holds me back not IQ
>don't know don't care, it's more lazyness that holds me back not IQ
Hahaha, yea thats the token phrase of the 115-120iq midwit
It's fine. Do as I did, GPT to get my CS paper, leetcode grinding for the interview, GPT on the job.
>B-but you're supposed to...
I don't care homosexual, it brings me food on the table that's enough.
What is your IQ? serious question.
