I doubt bootcamps or certificate courses go over anything like that. half of a software engineering degree needs to be stuff like that. also soft skills like writing documentation.
- solardev 4y agoFocus on documentation (and readability, and comments, etc.) would definitely be nice. As for "history of computing", I don't know, is it really that helpful to know that all the algorithms were invented by really smart people a few decades ago and then reinvented again and again in modern frameworks? I just assume that whatever I learn this year is going to obsolete by next year lol (web dev, sigh). On the other hand, a "how to decide if you should reinvent the wheel" course would be super helpful.
