The tech industry is fundamentally unserious about how it recruits, hires, and retains candidates. About which I have a lot more to say than could fit in a tweet, but, a good thing to know.

The amount of money flowing through capitalism would astound you. The number and variety of firms participating in the economy would astound you. We don't see most of it every day for the same reason abstractions protect us from having to care about metallurgy while programming.

CS programs have, in the main, not decided that the primary path to becoming a programmer should involve doing material actual programming. There are some exceptions: Waterloo, for example. This is the point where I joke "That's an exhaustive list" but not sure that a joke.

Technical literacy in the broader population can be approximated with the Thanksgiving test: what sort of questions do you get at Thanksgiving? That's the ambient level of literacy. Serious people in positions of power eat Thanksgiving dinners, too. Guess what they ask at them.

Salaries in the tech industry are up *a lot* in the last few years, caused by: a tight labor market, collapse of a cartel organized against the interests of workers, increasing returns to scale at AppAmaGooBookSoft, and the like. Investor money *does not* pay most salaries.

This concludes, for the moment, an off-the-cuff list of things which would otherwise be too obvious to bring up in conversation. Meta thought: you radically underestimate both a) how much you know that other people do not and b) the instrumental benefits to you of publishing it.

, the CS BSc contains 5 software engineering courses, 5 project courses (build software in a small team), and most other classes have a development final project. Check out @serg_delft! -
I’m going to be in Tokyo in two weeks so if you want to know more about what a European CS degree looks like, I’d love to grab coffee! Many of my North American friends are surprised at how much we cover

I have been universally impressed with Waterloo folks and kind of blown away at how many internships they do.

You misunderstand what a university CS program is. It's not training programmers, it's educating people in CS. The fact that most go on to become programmers doesn't change that.

"Most CS majors become professional programmers" is NOT the same statement as "the goal of the CS department is to train professional programmers"

Check out the computing programs at Rochester Institute of Technology. You'll find that CS at
@RITGolisanoCCIS requires extensive hands on programming, as do Web & Mobile Computing and Software Engineering majors. -
Second this one. As an RIT Software Engineer alumn, I spent a great deal of my college career with hands on programming and engineering. Also includes co-ops and working on projects for the fun of it. Such passion for computing at RIT.
