Today, yes. But that's a problem our industry needs to solve. A lot of our labor force has already paid in money and time for education. Our education system has simply failed to deliver the full skill sets. Not necessarily the education system's fault -- our industry needs to know what skill sets to ask for and what is their value.
- forgottenpass 12y agoOur education system has simply failed to deliver the full skill sets. Even if you ignore the question of what material post secondary education should be teaching, the more substantial bounds are the time limitation of school. Even a hyper-specialized curriculum can't cover everything, and isn't a substitute for real world experience. It's soothing to sit around and find ways to opine and blame external parties (education is a popular choice) for the fact that experienced and skilled developers can't be had for the cost of green developers. But it's just an activity that releases energy without changing anything, aka (mental) masturbation.
