Fullhouse posted:the actual problem here is that people are getting tech degrees without ever figuring out what the gently caress they're doing, either by cheating the whole time or just going through a bad program (also applies to most boot camps/"Learn to code online!" programs). Then these people get to a tech interview and can't do the most basic possible whiteboard coding problem and are amazed they can't find a job with their fancy degree yeah it's amazing how people supposedly study fizzbuzz before interviews now. fizzbuzz is seriously grade school level programming and the fact that a ton of devs cannot do it without a refresher is horiffic to say the least

imo, we need to start licensing programmers like we do engineers and having code audits for programs released to market. far too many applications today store and transmit sensitive information without the developers behind them having the slightest inkling wrt computer security. ignoring this problem is already leading to situations where we had cars on the road that could be remotely hijacked/disabled without much work.
