Wow. Just because someone is a college student doesn't mean they are incompetent! Plenty of people do business critical work as college students, haven't you ever heard of co-op before? A degree doesn't make you competent either, I've worked with enough people who have degrees who are completely incompetent. College students might need some extra supervision to make sure they are doing the right thing, but so do jr engineers.
Anyways, those are the things that a code review would catch.
- m_mueller 13y agoI think you got me wrong, sorry for not having myself made clearer. I worked through college as an IT consultant as well, however as you noted under supervision of a consulting company with seniors. Hiring a college student directly, without a company attached that can be made liable, is just a bad idea, both for the customer and the student. Just imagine the customer had sued parent. I wasn't talking about technical competence - it's all about liability as well as having proper processes for design, implementation, review, testing and rollout in place - a thing that can easily he seen even before signing a contract.
