I truly wish this was a more commonly held view point. You would think, speaking with many, that college was nothing more than a corporate worker mill.

- mattgreenrocks 13y agoThis is a dangerously reductionistic viewpoint that castrates the intellectual potential of students. To a student versed in Lisp macros, a framework like Rails ceases to be magic and starts being something that can be understood and improved on. Meanwhile, industry shies away from the possibility of a quick dive into a metaprogram, because, (OMG), it's hard! I'm exaggerating, but industry strikes me as profoundly anti-intellectual at times. We need people to counter this sentiment and the damage it imposes on all of us.
