Computer Programming is a Trade
- andraganescu 12y agoThis is so bad. I fail to believe that the world will get out of the paradigm of social stratification in the next dozen years or so. Making computer programming a "trade" is basically putting computer programmers on the same social and intellectual level with locksmiths, plumbers you know the folk the this definition of trade: << An occupation, especially one requiring skilled labor; craft: the building trades, including carpentry, masonry, plumbing, and electrical installation. >>. Perhaps i push the snob alarm in some but i do not mean it like this. The problem i am talking about is that we _should_ have higher education for being a programmer. The reason to skip it now is because their academic rhythm and notions are late and incomplete not because programming is not school worthy. I really think that, at least for serious programmers and developers, this trade business is a bad thing.
