@codrod do we know if she graduated at the bottom of her class?

2019-02-27 16:50:10 UTC  

lol

2019-02-27 16:50:18 UTC  

"They just exploit the american people to get rich and refuse to print the money for my bill and make fun of me" is likely her response to that

2019-02-27 16:50:51 UTC  

Most colleges are easy to just pass through for the paper.

2019-02-27 16:50:57 UTC  

I saw one of her interviews. She basically drops ECON101 terms like "externalities" and "supply/demand". Her understanding doesn't really seem to expand beyond basic econ.

2019-02-27 16:51:01 UTC  

For baccalaureate at least

2019-02-27 16:51:55 UTC  

You're exactly right. University education is a fucking joke and I say that as a college graduate.

2019-02-27 16:51:58 UTC  

Fed Should throw in some money supply and velocity rebuttals to see if she even knows what the fed tries to do.

2019-02-27 16:52:33 UTC  

I took a technical path, graduated with a 3.something GPA. Doesn't mean shit. I'm still learning and studying on the job because University wasn't enough.

2019-02-27 16:52:43 UTC  

Yeah I was let down by my bachelors education

2019-02-27 16:52:46 UTC  

I know many kids that got their CS degree in my class that couldn't do the most basic fucking coding.

2019-02-27 16:52:57 UTC  

@exeventien what happened for you?

2019-02-27 16:53:23 UTC  

I work in the industry before going to get that piece of paper.. Complete let down.

2019-02-27 16:53:41 UTC  

@codrod same here. They just copy code from online cause the Professors are too fucking lazy to write original coursework. They copy their syllabuses (or syllabi) from online.

2019-02-27 16:54:17 UTC  

And they have TAs that learned coding from that same class, but not really.

2019-02-27 16:54:28 UTC  

So you got people grading code that can't code.

2019-02-27 16:54:56 UTC  

yup. Of the students in my graduating class, a solid 90% of them were jokes.

2019-02-27 16:55:02 UTC  

10% were solid hard workers.

2019-02-27 16:55:20 UTC  

I guess it follows the Pareto Distribution.

2019-02-27 16:55:21 UTC  

The upper level electives were pretty weak introductions to the material (most of the time), and the core coursework lacked important industry practice. The theory we covered was useful though, and you wouldnt ever see it if you only had work experience.

2019-02-27 16:57:31 UTC  

One guy who graduated a semester before me decided to prepopulate a class with var Table1, Table2,..., Table10.

2019-02-27 16:57:39 UTC  

In our group project

2019-02-27 16:58:08 UTC  

Not a collection or array. A hardcoded reference with numbers....

2019-02-27 16:58:16 UTC  

That probably explains why its so hard to get a job after finishing a bachelors, the companies get burned by idiots with degrees and no clue what they're doing

2019-02-27 16:58:36 UTC  

Is this Engineering field? @exeventien

2019-02-27 16:59:02 UTC  

yeah along those lines

2019-02-27 17:00:26 UTC  

To be fair (i write software at a company whose main product is engineering) industry standard isn't necessarily that uniform.

2019-02-27 17:00:52 UTC  

And your first job, you're just a basic drafter not an engineer.

2019-02-27 17:01:51 UTC  

Pareto is 80/20 but it's probably something along those lines

2019-02-27 17:04:27 UTC  

And from my earlier complaint. I didn't blame or hate on the groupmate/student for not using a collection properly. He was actually very interested in learning so I worked with him to teach him all the shit he should have learned the 3 years prior.

2019-02-27 17:05:14 UTC  

Don't worry though, this school taught me to introduce myself with preferred pronouns 😅

2019-02-27 17:09:15 UTC  

That's why university shouldn't be a degree mill or a job training center

2019-02-27 17:09:23 UTC  

It's never been that til recently

2019-02-27 17:10:01 UTC  

When high school became shit and government made it regular and not exceptional

2019-02-27 17:12:39 UTC  

Programming really is a trade

2019-02-27 17:13:08 UTC  

Engineering too, exceptions at the extremes

2019-02-27 17:25:50 UTC  

Trade: equal parts art, craft, science, and experience

2019-02-27 17:34:50 UTC  

Collage is can be very useful for somethings that need to be learned (tho we need to make this process better).
I'm just happy i never went lol.

2019-02-27 17:38:17 UTC  

I went to a conservative, private university. It was really great

2019-02-27 18:28:08 UTC  

Certain things, like Physics or Biology, I would say you need Uni for, but yeah there is too much emphasis on it to succeed

2019-02-27 18:29:35 UTC  

I needed it for law, economics, accounting, advanced math.
My CS courses I stopped attending as they were not needed
