I've oscillated between these two positions for a few years now, when in truth neither positions are really in conflict. When we complain about universities not preparing students better for jobs, what we really mean is that universiti

I'm naive, but I think the adoption of Typed FP, and the resulting cultural education and change, is one route to solving this problem. But it is a social and economic problem more than anything else. Or I guess - since the spectrum of

Correctness and robustness happen to all software, when exposed to end-users for a long enough time. Internally the software would be a ball of mud, a fragile patchwork of incoherent code that nobody wants to touch. A lot of these programs
