So, it's fine when it's Tim Apple saying this! What happened on Twitter was So Unfair and So Sad!
- C1sc0cat 8y agoAh the English Disease "Employers not wanting to pay for training" Universitys job isn't to rote teach how to code
- sjg007 8y agoTrue but then we need to treat programming as a trade.
- toastking 8y agoWe do! We have bootcamps and stuff like Code.org now.
- C1sc0cat 8y agoAnd devaluing our "professional" Job into a lower status and lower paid one why? Why do a lot of HN commentators fetishize "trade" skills when they have no real idea what they are talking about. Possibly if your going to target a CS/EE degree you should have bean learning to code from 13 or 14 - in the UK you wont get to study Physics if you haven't specialised in physics and maths at the GCSE and A level.
