Thinking about switching from Software Engineering to Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics & Robotics) is it worth the 6 years?(reddit.com)
c/robotics · by @Simon Automated · #ai#robot#robotics ·
Hey everyone, looking for some genuine opinions here. I’m currently a second-year Software Engineering student in Australia and I’ve been seriously considering switching to Mechanical Engineering with a Mechatronics & Robotics major, followed by a Master of Professional Engineering (Mechatronic). That’s a 4 year undergrad plus 2 year masters A few things I’d love honest input on: Is a Mechanical Engineering degree still worth pursuing in 2026 with AI moving so fast, or will a lot of that work get automated too? For those already working in robotics or mechatronics does your degree actually reflect what you do day to day? Was the Masters worth it or could you have gotten into the industry with just the undergrad? Any regrets about the path you took? Appreciate any input from people actually in the industry or going through something similar. submitted by /u/sussypanduh [link] [Kommentare]
Show HN: Persist – an AI agent that follows up accrued channels till they reply(persist-app.pages.dev)

Every plan comes with built-in access to a vast contact graph. Describe your ideal customer and the agent finds, verifies, and enriches the perfect matches — then reaches them. Bring your own CRM and lists too — persist.chat works alongside what you already have. No campaign builders to wrestle with. You talk, the agent works. "Founders who raised this quarter." "Buyers looking in 94110 under $1M." Plain English — that's the whole interface. It pulls matches from 200M+ contacts, enriches their details, and drafts a personalized message for every single person. Multi-channel sequences with smart timing. It handles replies, pauses on a response, and books meetings to your calendar. Personalized messages on a cadence you set — 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, or your own — switching channels to stay fresh. The moment they respond, it stops. Personalized opener referencing what they care about. A short nudge — only if they haven't replied. A new angle — proof, a case study, or an option. A different channel keeps you top of mind. Email opener, LinkedIn warm-up, a direct text, a DM on X — orchestrated as one sequence, paced to stay deliverable. Warmed mailboxes, personalized at scale, with open and reply tracking. The highest-response channel, used sparingly for the direct ask. Connect and warm up before the pitch — build familiarity that converts. Follow and DM people based on what they post — reach them while it's relevant. This is the real persist.chat app, running live. Talk to the agent, build a sequence, browse the inbox — no signup needed. Tip: try a starter prompt like “Find Mission buyers under $1M” — the agent will find leads and build the sequence. Every message references the person — their company, role, listing, or a signal it found about them. 1-day, 3-day, 7-day — branch on opens and replies. Or just let the agent decide. Every reply across every channel in one place — the agent drafts your response and stops the sequence. See replies, meetings, and attributed pipeline by channel — and what the agent should double down on. Sync a CRM, drop a messy spreadsheet, or let the agent prospect net-new. All roads lead to outreach. Review and approve before anything sends, or let it run autonomously once you trust it. We're onboarding early-access teams in batches. Drop your email and we'll send your invite — with the full contact graph included.
