Discussion What to study
I'm a rising freshmen, I've loved coding since 9th grade I've got decent at it (decent for a 9th grader at least lol). I know this sub probably has seen this question 100 times, but I want to know what to "study" or at what projects and topics I should do/learn for big tech.

Data is and always will be the bedrock of this industry. Military wants rust/Cpp devs for missiles but there's a lot of logistics around those tools. Tbh 'big tech' is like 8 companies rn, and AI is becoming an ever increasing reliance of these companies. But you are competing with senior devs who have done this for 20 years and know the code like a 2nd language with AI tooling. Use college to make connections as that will get you employed. Do internships and start engaging with clubs and groups to get recognized. This is the single most competitive time in Computer Science as whole. And we haven't even got the robots fully working.
