Yes unfortunately almost all US and likely other computer science degrees are geared largely at making you a good researcher. I was lucky in that i loved playing with some home servers and with that led to figuring out how to build my own software before finishing school. I think college does a very bad job of preparing you for the real world use such as most having people turn in zip files and not even using git (maybe this has changed).
- MattGaiser 5y agoI graduated two years ago. We learned subversion :)
- shepherdjerred 5y agoI also graduated two years ago. One of my peers in our group project refused to make a GitHub account and instead emailed us his code
- MattGaiser 5y agoWe didn't even know about git for one of my first projects, so we did that too.
- le-mark 5y agoI wrote all the code for group projects because I didn’t want to leave my grade up to the apathetic do nothings types in the cs dept where I went to university.
- duped 5y agoThis is anecdotal but I'm not seeing a glut in hiring new grads with CS degrees. It's everyone trying to break into the industry through bootcamps.
