The article discusses the decreasing popularity of electrical engineering (EE) degrees in favor of computer science courses. It suggests that this shift is causing a shortage of hardies in the tech industry and threatens entire tech ecosystems. The author explains how EE has lost its appeal due to a lack of practical exposure for budding engineers, and the increasing focus on software over hardware components. To address this issue, the tech industry needs to re-expose the magic behind EE and make it appealing again to attract new talent.
