@rioter @TacticalGrace @puffnfresh I don't think it is dying, just schisming as the fakery becomes transparent to more people.

@dibblego @rioter @puffnfresh From my experience as a lecturer, I also don't think it is dying. It's always been fairly rare.

@TacticalGrace @dibblego @puffnfresh So the concept of fire up a debugger. Change a value. Yay it works. Bred from education?

@rioter @dibblego @puffnfresh No, it's not bred from education. We try to teach students to think and understand, but it is very hard.

@TacticalGrace @rioter @puffnfresh Why is it hard?

@dibblego @rioter @puffnfresh Hard b/c some don't even try (they want the "easy" way out) and many don't get it even with plenty of help.

@TacticalGrace @rioter @puffnfresh Why don't they try? I contend: because school, often mistakenly called education.

@dibblego @rioter @puffnfresh That may very well be the case. It's just difficult to test this hypothesis.
