The Doctor

Something I noticed after I finished my degree:

When looking for a job and you're asked about what you studied, under no circumstances mention any humanities courses.

The moment I mentioned philosophy or ethics (Ethics of Computing was a requirement for graduation at Pitt if you were in the comp.sci program), the interview was over.

I even applied for a few jobs that I didn't want just to test this hypothesis. It works repeatably.

This says much about working in tech these days.

@drwho Sounds like they want programmers who lack any ethics (or even knowledge of ethics). Sounds pretty much what I see coming from Big Techs. Sad!
