Do Developers Need College Degrees? 9 years ago
I laugh when webdevs call themselves engineers.
The really funny thing is asking a computer scientist to engineer a web page.

Great point. I've always seen the computer industry completely operates in its own dimension, not like any other industry in history.
I wrote this on hardware and software made by and improved by organizations of highly educated and highly specialized people.
Maybe a lot of that useful hardware and software was not written or designed by people who own a sheepskin?
It's incredulous to think the future is only going to be built by Lucky Palmers and 16 yo hacker geniuses.
Does a sheepskin enable that type of high quality condescension? I guess it's good for something, eh?
