>>14350930>Comp sci at universities is still largely about comp sci,I'd argue that most of the time, programs try to get both, and grab some shit like economics or business management or fucking developing in .net instead of tackling, well, actual comp. sci.
> students who complain their degree didn't teach them enough about industrial software while also complaining they learned how to solve tree inversion problemsStudents whine about fucking everything - school not teaching about taxes (spoiler, my school did, student's just didn't give a fuck), complaining that their knowledge won't help them in real life (spoiler: they would fucking flunk even at basic "real life" problems and applications, like I did due to being fucking retarded at calculus).
Personally, nothing pisses me off more than:
a) Students whining to fucking hell about shit being hard in college (arguable), and especially in school
b) Students writing up some basic bs from youtube or khanacademy being "the future of learning".
> But given how software skills are part of STEM at large now, and everyone and their mother knows how to code,I'd argue that everyone knows how to code, but many don't know how to write good, efficient and maintainable code. In academia, specifically, because people tend to kiss other's ass more there, instead of dropping some anvils about how shit the code is.
It's case-by-case, but from my experience, it's a matter of luck whether you will stumble on good code written by academic staff, or a bad one.
