I graduated with a degree in computer science so I'm hoping to get a position as a software engineer

I'm doing alright, I graduated from university recently and am now looking for a job. On the bright side I now have time to work on my side projects.

Haha, I do not.

Just this one.

I like my current job. I'm working on automating tree core sample scanning by creating an affordable tree core sample scanner for a university lab. Since the machines normally cost 6k+ to buy, a few other students and I were hired to design and build a machine with a budget of approximately 200$ along with equipment they already have such as a USB microscope camera. Currently, we are waiting on a PCB we ordered to arrive so we can put everything together, but that won't be for another week or three. Thankfully we managed to stay in budget, but we lack the multicore loading aspect that the 6k+ machines have. However, they are interested in expanding the budget to see if we could do that since the PCB was designed to be able to drive multiple motors so we wouldn't have to design a second one.

I would suspect that instead of your traditional bandaid with a sticky side instead a version where you tie it on would become more popular as you wouldn't have to worry about shaving the area first. I think there would also be more markets that advertise to specific species. As for hygiene I would imagine that grooming products would be very popular as nobody wants to deal with a mouthful of fur or coughing up fur balls. I imagine that touch screens wouldn't really be all that popular for the reasons that you mentioned and that buttons would be used as pressure sensitive screens could be damaged more easily by claws. I do believe that makeup would still exist, but it would likely be in the form of fur dyes or powder that can be easily washed out, especially since the majority of mammals dont sweat so it smearing would be a lesser concern.

Species would be more geographically separated due to temperature tolerances throughout the year as they would be more likely to live in areas more suitable for them. On a similar aspect, I think they would wear less overall clothing due to fur making it easy to get too hot. Vehicles would likely have taller roofs to account for ears. If the size range on species is large enough I would also imagine that there would be doors within doors or multiple doors of different sizes to allow for smaller species and larger species to be accounted for without making too many modifications to accommodate them.

I got the fans replaced, but the sorting machine and sampling machine projects are going on the back burner for now in favor of college homework unfortunately. My college classes seem to be competing on who can give the most homework.

I've been working on several things recently, two days ago the parts I ordered for the Lego sorting machine I've been wanting to make finally arrived in the mail along with the parts to replace the fans on my 3D printer with quieter ones. Yesterday I started taking apart a sampling machine so I could figure out how it's wired since the control board is dead and I want to one day turn it into a small pick and place machine. Finally I've been working on a game for the computer science degree's final project. Progress on that has been slow tho as I'm making the game engine from scratch and there are less tutorials on how to get opengl and SDL to cooperate than I would like.

I want one and would want to make one myself, but I lack the time and money to do so. I'm more of the type of person who wants to make one for myself purely for the experience of doing so, as I don't interact with the local furry community at all.
