I think there is a reason physics people perhaps are naturally adept at computer science, if you know what I mean....
Move over coders, physicists will soon rule the silicon valley
Kek, good luck with that
This is not surprising, I have three friends who are professional programmers and one who is getting his degree. While they do know a lot about memory management, writing close to hardware, OS architecture and so on, they are terrible at math (struggling with calc 1 and 2). Actually programming software is very simple, the hard part is designing algorithms, and that's where a physicist or a mathematician shine.
CS grads will always be needed because at some point you're gonna have to optimize those algorithms, but I see them becoming a very niche and specialized field in charge of ensuring speed and system security.
CS grads are also dull people who will gladly work on payroll systems, tax software, databases and so many other boring fields that no physicist would ever touch. They aren't going extinct, although they will probably get cucked out of the juiciest positions.

I got a long string of rejections from companies despite doing very well (even perfect some times) on interviews. I think part of the reason is that I didn't get much respect for having studied physics, even though I understand advanced CS subjects just as well if not better than those who focused solely on CS.
To add to this:
I did eventually get hired by a startup company. Despite me being obviously smarter than the CS grads (sometimes it would take them weeks of work on a problem to make an imperfect solution, whereas I could just look at it and come up with the perfect solution right on the spot), I was treated as a second class citizen. The boss of said startup reneged on certain promises of financial reward for performing well and his intent to string me along with false promises became too obvious, so I quit eventually.

Suckle my toe, brainlet.
This is not a roleplaying club, despite there being some of you here. Please, stop vomiting your fantasies here as to not take the already abysmal quality of this board even further down.
