Is an engineering degree still worth it with AI and vibe coding everywhere? A college student named Trevor asked us exactly that (after roasting our car-video audio). In this episode of Runtime Regret, Joe, a computer science grad who builds and ships real apps to the App Store and Google Play, gives his honest take.
What we cover:
- Why a technology degree beats a lot of other college degrees on career value
- Why knowing how things are built from scratch still matters, in tech and beyond
- What happens when vibe-coded apps hit the App Store: security rejections, weak architecture, and apps that don't scale
- Why AI works best as an assistant to someone who understands software engineering fundamentals like inheritance and polymorphism
- The bigger question: do you need the diploma, or just the skills?
Got a question about AI, tech careers, or software development? Send it our way and we may answer it on a future episode.
