exactly, at a certain point tax breaks are no longer about retaining more money for more yachts, it's about the fact that there is still a government that has the ability to MAKE them pay taxes (or MAKE them do ANYTHING) they genuinely feel as though they are gods, and should be revered accordingly

these poll cops are going to detain as many non white people as possible to physically depress dem votes.

Ya I'm not saying people don't do this, that's basically the only way we get any new developers.

The Cat in the High Chair (@overkoalafried.bsky.social) reply parent
as an example, they do teach you how to write reliable code, but then you get into industry and work in code bases that are already so filled with debt and in house convention you have to completely ignore what you learned and adopt a whole new way of coding

repost:This is totally true I agree with you. IMO school can teach the core fundamentals (and should!) like: CLI, linux filesystem, (like you said) network standards that aren't likely to change, etc. But, learning these things vs actually doing stuff involving them is completely different ballgames

I think the problem is like 30 fold but on the top of my mind: it's more like a trade and should be apprenticeship imo academia isn't suited to teach the required skills in an industry that evolves this fast the tools, vendors, and configurations companies use are basically custom setups
