Problem is, schools expect students to do this with like 100 tools and give no guidance on what to do, and why. It's absolutely overwhelming.
Even as a professional SW engineer for 10+ years, when I join a new job, the amount of new tools and workflows is overwhelming - and that's when I at least understand the descriptions. Dumping all that on a student is just idiotic, not good teaching.
- garren 4y agoI get what you’re saying. I didn’t feel overwhelmed by git, but I’d been working with it for a couple of years, so there’s a clear bias. I did run into frustration with other tools, though. Maybe git, in particular, does deserve some specific focus given its unique status and ubiquity in the industry.
- formerkrogemp 4y agoThank you for the acknowledgement. I appreciate your consideration of an alternative view. Not everyone gits it at first and it takes some effort to learn.
