An intern's productivity sort of lies in "how fast they learn". Can they pick up things by just being pointed into the right directions or do they need everything spoon-fed, in small doses, with repetition, to then still get

From a society point of view, it doesn't really matter "who" wastes it. Ultimately, the outcome is the same: Someone spends time on something that society does not benefit from. ... sidenote; I personally think that something

As an alumni, thanks a lot for doing this. Looking back, all the things that I've learned in just the first few weeks in the industry made writing code so much more productive - if only someone had shown some of it already during some

I understand the sentiment, but since git is probably one of the longer-lasting constants in our industry (if not the longest-lasting constant), I personally think it's really worth to have a bit of a look into it. Something I wish s

You probably had some classes with Gutknecht at some point, who apparently contributed significantly to Oberon. That being said, I'm in the same boat as you. I have definitely heard more about Oberon here on HN than at ETHZ.
