Original Reddit post

I’m a final year CS student trying to decide between focusing fully on Software Development (SDE) or moving deeper into Cybersecurity. With AI tools getting better at writing code, generating boilerplate, debugging, etc., it feels like traditional dev roles might change a lot over the next few years. At the same time, cybersecurity is also getting automated, especially SOC work and basic monitoring. But security is adversarial and constantly evolving, so I’m wondering if it might be more resilient long term. submitted by /u/arthurmorgan_texts

    Just my two cents, but nothing is inherently safe. The safest thing to do is be in the top 10% of whichever field you choose.

    Pick the one you want the most and put in the hours to gain experience on either path and you’ll be safer than phoning it in on a career path you’re not as excited about.
