    I switched degrees out of CS because of shit like this. The final straw was having to write code with pencil and paper on exams. I'm probably happier than I would've been making six figures at some bullshit IT job (biaoqing-copium)

      Honestly I like writing code on paper vs. actual code on a computer. But that just means I should have majored in math.

      I had to do that once. That was pre ChatGPT tho so I can imagine it's worse because the rampant cheating.

        I had to do it too (before and after LLM era) but it's not really necessary ever. If they want us not to use ChatGPT they can make us take exams in a computer lab with supervision. For some reason, one or two profs refuse to do that and still hand out exams on paper where you gotta write entire scripts. Deeply unserious field.

        I was pre ChatGPT also. Still do writing for my current job but I'm too much of a boomer to trust it with anything.
