Why are people downvoting this? The reason why I had decided compsci or stem was also that being completely honest, I couldn't imagine myself not having the hobby of using linux and tinkering with scripts and everything. So I really get what you are talking about and I think that we are in similar states although I haven't started my bachelors and I might be much younger than you.

Linux/Terminal truly feels like opening another dimension of thinking, its too luring sometimes.

Yeah, exactly. I just love working with and understanding computers. They open up so many possibilities.

Working with ai vs. coding yourself is the difference between ordering electrical components from digikey vs. designing them yourself. You can end up with functionally the same result and a lot faster, but they're hardly comparable activities!

And I'm just 28, but I've been fucking around with computers non-stop since I was 12 :) Only as a hobby, mind you. Never as a job.
