My interpretation is that the article is just talking about people with a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science. In the same vein I just call them computer scientists, but they are different from people that do science at a university. I expect scientists at universities to push the state of the art.
- feoren 5y agoOne of the exciting things about the immaturity of software engineering is that you don't need a Ph.D. and years of study to push the state of the art. You just need to get pissed at that stupid library why is it doing it this way UGH FINE I'LL WRITE MY OWN! Grats, you're pushing the boundary of the discipline.

Like Linus Torvalds or Theo de Raadt, both BS holders IIRC? A bachelor's degree from a good CS program is enough to prepare anyone who studies well to do what they did.
- cinntaile 5y agoThat wasn't my claim either so I'm unsure why you point this out? You don't even need a degree to push the state of the art.
