not obscene, just deeply concerning

Edited yesterday
every single time i've hoped this sort of thing would happen, in any human endeavour whatsoever, the result has turned out to be worse beyond anything i could previously have imagined

i welcome a flood of tech workers with no debugging ability it just means more job security for me

@apophis it's basically "one fear" encapsulated in a post, the breakdown of common and institutional knowledge is NEVER something to be celebrated, and those who believe otherwise are simply too naive to reckon with the real consequences of it

@nyx @apophis I'll be real I think this has been a long time coming, long before things like what OP QRT is alluding to. There's a true failure of education on every level in the profession and whoever manages to break that particular deadlock will instantly hold the seeds to building a proper programmer-priesthood in their hands.

@allison @apophis @nyx universities are still teaching OOP as the holy grail of programming paradigms .

@fiore @apophis @shroomie @nyx it's (well lets be clear, only one style of it, message passing along the lines of smalltalk or self always gets short shrift) also taught outside of any areas of actual competence (gui programming, simulations) as the end all be all of programming when that obviously isn't the case. most university so-called "computer science" courses in this day and age are really just (java/python/javascript) vocational training, and things like the 6.001/6.002/6.003/6.004 birds eye course progression from mit basically don't exist anymore.
