> you still enjoyed a level of financial stability in those years [...] these folks don't get that choice. I keep forgetting how much it pays in the US. But agreed, if I was deprived of a way to make heaps of money directly out of university I'd be mildly annoyed. (Arguably by not being American, I kind of was. And this goes without saying, but since it's the Internet, I'm not trying to argue that this "injustice" is the same as the alleged racism.) --- I'm also involved with hiring people. Am I racist? I don't know, I only get the coding challenges without names. I do know that 95% of the applicants are shit, and most can't even be bothered with the coding "challenge" (on par with fizz buzz, it's mainly a test of do you have basic reading comprehension). Having a CS degree is meaningless as far as quality goes. So what I can relate to is that the university sucks at preparing people for the job. And the article does say that, but that's not the main focus. So going back to first principles. Why is the title "Why Doesn’t Silicon Valley Hire Black Coders?", and not "Man with industry experience is shocked to find University curriculum 25 years out of date", or "Universities hate us: This one trick to get hired"?
