Three years into studying software engineering and three quarters of my class have no idea what git is.

But by gosh, can we code the shit out of a tic tac toe game.

At least a quarter knows git.
When I was studying, i was then only one in class that knew git. 90% only knew book knowledge and if tic tac to wasn't in the books they probably would not of known how to program it.

No college but know git. It isn't even hard to learn.

bahahahahaha

@Sunsette 50 interviews done, 10% of them have github.

@Merkury well shit... somebody needs to tell them what's up

what's a git?
- me, a few years ago during a group project

@Sunsette Yeah.

@gristCollector it's you. You're the git

@artificial- git push -d origin gristCollector

Thank god we learned how to write a bubble sort

CS students by and large are the modern equivalent of kids from back in grade school that came up to me an said "will you teach me to hack?"

It amazed me at community college just how effin' ignorant they all were. Just not the right kind of people for the job.

No Hanoi towers? I'm sorry mate but I'm starting to question the credibility of your school's CS course!

@cmrickels Well I think not all CS undergraduates are stupid, I know self taught people that are even worst, because they think that are better than anyone because they learned.

And when you take a look closer, they learned with youtube videos that only teach how to produce shitty code.

Books are so old fashioned for some people.

@cmrickels what I meant is, if you are a passionate person about IT, not only web dev, I degree can give you a broader view of the world.

Said that, depends on the university, I don't know how it will work around the world, but as a rule of thumb, european universities are pretty good on that. Not only teach you to code, but to think better.

You should be glad.

This is why formal education is dying. Academia lags so far behind industry because the lecturers live in their little ivory tower.

YES! No one knows Git - when they use it they fuck up... Somehow. They have 10 repos after another - the often restart because they mess up their SSH keys?!?!

But yes, they can make a tic tac toe game... All in one file with multiple if/else statements.

Tragic.

I didn't know git till after college. I was busy learning stuff like concurrency and theory - things that I'd rather learn in class than something I can read in a book.

.. fight me
