I thought that quote was silly. If there's a useful point in there I'm missing it. Someone who can program a raspberry pi to control a robot may not be able to instantly debug your legacy spaghetti code with zero supervision on day one of the job. But I think robot programmers meet a pretty solid standard already if we only had enough such graduates.

Our hypothetical humanities graduate here didn't explicitly study this as a degree, and shouldn't have to, any more than they didn't need a degree in maths to count.
