I did CS at a decent, but not as top tier university as you did (King's College London). And have had the opposite experience as you. I got a great job even before I graduated and I am now working my way up in my second job. All my friends

In terms of an interface, unless we can come up with something vastly superior to a keyboard, it's not going away. The keyboard is pretty intuitive and extremely explicit (if I press the A key, there's no confusion about what I meant to pre
