- traderj0e 6mo agoThat too
- whstl 6mo agoI'm gonna strongly +1 on this. Most of the "Software Engineering" curricula I've seen is catered towards "getting a job as a programmer", and is mostly focused on languages, frameworks and outdated processes. As an engineer in another discipline, there's no engineering there. I would rank like this: Computer Science > Self Taught > Software Engineering.
- a96 6mo agoI might go as far as saying that SE is dogmatic. And the dogma is usually very outdated. Not necessarily useless, though.
- traderj0e 6mo agoI remember people in college bragging that they're learning Angular. I was like, is this an engineering or physics thing, angular dynamics? No, it's a web framework with a ton of boilerplate that my LLM deals with now.
- whstl 6mo agoToday it's just React, but there was a small window where Angular was the #1 framework and some courses were teaching it. I even saw a "post-grad in React" lately. Backend-wise it's the same, it comes and goes with fashion and whatever company has influence in the university recommends.
