Side note: Why do I keep seeing disses to mechanical engineering here? How is that possibly a less valuable degree than web dev or a standard CRUD backend job?
Especially with AI provably getting extremely smart now, surely engineering disciplines would be having a boon as people want these things in their homes for cheaper for various applications.
But the arc of time intersects quite nicely with your skills if you steer it over time.
Predicting it or worrying about it does nothing.
