Ya, I get it that this is the whole joke of the post, but I’m bemused to discover that I’m a slutt datafag.
I had not anticipated climbing to such a pinnacle in my lifetime.
I have never heard anyone call computer science “datafag”, it’s usually called “informatikk” (like “informatics” which you can also say in English), and “slutt” just means end or stop, I have never heard anyone use it to refer to graduating.
“Fag” does mean “subject” or “field of study”, though, so computer science is a “fag”, and it might be considered a “realfag” along with the natural sciences, I don’t know.
My dad did ‘datafag’ some 50 years ago, at least I think they called it that. It was the era of ‘hullkort’ (punchcards).
Also I think it should be sluttdatafag all in one word. I seem to remember some old folks referring to graduate degrees as sluttfag. I dont think anyone has ever put ‘data’ in the middle there though. Sounds like AI hallucination.
With regards to “sluttfag”, I couldn’t find anything real, but Google’s AI summary says “Et sluttfag er et fag på videregående skole som blir avsluttet med en standpunktkarakter det gjeldende skoleåret” - so it’s the final year of a subject that gives you a grade on your high-school diploma… according to a language model :l
To pull you back just a little “slutt datafag” is an expression for the subject which you are graduating. Or maybe google reads it as a verb + noun, since “slutt” means “stop” or “end” and assumes that “end” means “graduate” in this context. Anyways I don’t think it makes sense as a description for a person.
But you are free to call yourself a “fagperson”. This is a very common phrase to describe a person with education.

Edit: I got corrected below, “datafag” is real
Ah, cognate to the German „Fach“ and the English “fact”. That makes sense.
Keep in mind this is Google translate
What newfags and oldfags? Can one triforce while the other cannot?
Shit… now I want to know what triforcing is
Found the Newfag!
I’m actually straight, but that just sounds awesome
It doesn’t matter. You wouldn’t be able to do it anyway.
Q: What did Princess Zelda suggest to Link after her third night without orgasm?
I don’t know. What?
“Please go gently.”

You are right, in fact it’s still possible to study datafag, I stand corrected: https://uit.no/utdanning/program/795103/informatikk_datafag_-_bachelor

Oh sure. I get to be a slutt datafag for 6 hours, and then you come along and ruin it. Thanks!
