It takes my longer to thoroughly review code I didn't write, especially code written by a junior developer. Why would I choose to slow myself down in the short term and allow my skills to atrophy in the long term (which will also slow

People keep talking about education cost. By and large, this isn't a cost issue. The lowest performing schools get the most funding per student, and while school boards and teacher's unions always are going to advocate for more mo

I don't think it's a disdain for education, but a disdain for the educational system that currently exists in the US. If you have kids and experience it first hand, it's extremely underwhelming. If you were an outlier in any

And when those goals are orthogonal to educational achievement, then what? The greatest predictor of academic success is the education level of a student's parents.
