20 blunders I committed in my career which I realised during recession
- bprater 18y agoI appreciate this guy's honesty. Sometimes we need to open the kimono and be honest with ourselves and others. But I can't wrap my head around this: "I have masters in software engineering and I couldnt solve pretty simple recursion and data structure problems in one of the interview." As a clueless hacker that was too arrogant to attend college -- isn't theory pushed like gospel in academia?
- menloparkbum 18y agoisn't theory pushed like gospel in academia? No, not really. When I went to school I switched from CS to Math because I felt like the CS program was too job oriented and I wasn't learning anything of lasting theoretical value. However, recursion and data structure problems are not theory and a master's in software engineering isn't particularly academic.
- deadsy 18y ago"I was becoming more reluctant to open notepad and try one programming problem." - something is amiss here.
