Hah. I never thought I'd see CSUS here on HN. I briefly went there, but wasn't in CS. In the early 2000's, I worked in a large finance company in Sacramento.

Hah. I never thought I'd see CSUS here on HN. I briefly went there, but wasn't in CS. In the early 2000's, I worked in a large finance company in Sacramento. Our tech lead spent a not insignificant portion of his time interviewing people. He always complained how Sac State grads never knew anything software relevant coming out of that program. They didn't know any web technologies or Java, a little C, but they were all whizzes at hardware, COBOL, and assembly. Looks like I underestimated that program in the 90's. This article gives me a bit of a hint of where they were focused.
