Things They Don’t Teach You In School

Semper Ubi Sub Ubi:

There is a discrepancy between what the industry requires or expects from academia, and what schools and universities provide. There are some things that universities are not prepared or willing to teach students simply because it does not fall within their mission, and whether or not that is Right and Good is a topic for another day. The industry, on the other hand, makes the mistake of expecting universities to churn out “programmers”, ready to join the big machine and crank out code. But programming is but one aspect of all the many things that relate to “Computer Science”.
