The TFA wants the following computer science courses:
Unlearning Object-Oriented Programming: a course on specific software engineering techniques
Classical Software Studies: a course on the history of software tools
Writing Fast Code in Slow Languages: a course on specific engineering techniques
User Experience of Command Line Tools: an engineering design course
Obsessions of the Programmer Mind: course about engineering conventions and tools.
One day, the name of science will not be so besmirched.
- LPisGood 1y agoPeople don’t get this up in arms when there is a math course about using math tools or math history or how math is used to solve actual problems, but for some reason they do about computer science.

- LPisGood 1y agoAstronomy isn’t about telescopes yet astronomers spend lots of time studying and doing research regarding telescopes.
