There's no substitute for engaging with a problem with nothing but pencil, paper, and a willingness to slog through for as many days and weeks and months and years it takes to figure it out alone.
There’s also no substitute for wasted time. Theres no getting it back either, no matter how rich you are.
Forget artificial intelligence. Did you not just describe a perfect justification to use a computer? What do you think we do with them today? NOT save days and weeks and months and years of time, otherwise wasted with nothing but pencil and paper?
Which part of this slop is teaching the grads some experience in coding?
What exactly do coding graduates do for 4+ years? Is actually coding still part of it?
I get the obscure liberal artist struggling to find resume fodder, but what the hell is up with this zero-experience-degreed-moron assumption with graduates of technical degrees? It’s like implying a new barber grad has zero experience with scissors. If they’re still that technically retarded after graduating, then they didn’t actually graduate that skill. At all.
If On The Job (OJT) training is still a critical need today because education is that lacking, then perhaps we stop calling it an education. It clearly wasn’t.
