Ask HN: How to Pick a Specialisation?

3 pointsby dizzydizabout 3 years ago
I’m broadly interested in many areas of CS, but not in anything specific.<p>I’d like to do meaningful work.<p>I would like to hear from people who have specialised as to how they chose their field.<p>Does it matter all that much?

&gt; I’d like to do meaningful work.<p>Commercial CS is about stealing somebody&#x27;s attention to make advertisements being watched and all kinds of dark patterns. Personally I have never seen a programmer (except of some pure scientists) which would not be an asshole just doing everything he&#x27;s being told, for money, no matter how harmful.
