I really wish this practical stuff was more emphasized. I graduated with a lot of very smart people who could write great code - but they could not compile, run, test, or check it into VCS to save their lives.
It made group projects hell.
- sf_rob 7y agoI graduated high in my CS class from a top school, but it turns out that I'm just good at tests/abstract thinking/hacking things together with duct tape. I'm terrible at software engineering, and really glad to see this kind of stuff being emphasized at the university level.
- gen220 7y agoDepends on your point of view, but it sounds like you’re great at software engineering. :) Abstract thinking and duct tape are the tools of the trade! The tools they’re teaching in this course are just fantastic abstractions held together with duct tape, after all.
