Indeed. (Applied) CS has still a long way to go and that way will eventually make it a respected engineering discipline.
Actually it's kind of interesting to think what it would take to get there. I don't think we're actually 50 years away, if we wanted to get there. What would students be expected to know to be an actual software engineer?
The first level is easy: the students need to be able to get the computer to do what they want. This is the first level, and when I do job interviews, I am trying to figure out if the candidate can reliably get the computer to do what they want or not (mainly using programming problems like on leetcode, since those are short and fast. Although I make up my own questions, they're basically in the same class). Unfortunately that level often takes students 4 years to achieve, if they achieve it at all.
IF you could speed up that knowledge acquisition (which would largely be done by having students do a lot of programming), then moving on to the next step, I know there are things I wish software engineers knew, but I don't know how to organize it into a teaching system. I teach it to other engineers at work in an ad-hoc way.
Except we weren't talking about a rural community. Springfield,
Oh, I saw a documentary on Springfield. There were a bunch of yellow people, some with blue hair. Some had spiky yellow hair, which matched their skin tone.
The burning desire to correct someone when they are wrong has nothing to do with intelligence.
It also used to be much more important. Now anyone can look up any fact at any time, having an encyclopedic store of facts in your brain is rather less useful than before (still useful, but in the same way being able to do mental math is useful. It helps you see connections and move fast. But anyone can use a calculator or Wikipedia).
Incidentally, I've noticed that one reason ChatGPT is so popular as a source for answering questions is because a lot of people don't know how to use Wikipedia.
Pay illegal immigrants far below the min wage for the "untouchable" jobs, Nanny, Gardener, the less than automated parts of food production.
None of those are untouchable jobs. I know American Citizens who have done all those jobs, and enjoyed it. The only reason Americans aren't lining up to do those jobs is because the pay is low.
"Most ag workers who are paid by the hour in California receive $11 to $12."
It's not necessarily true because there are a lot of tricks for paying illegal immigrants less.
I was a prior fortune 50 executive working at the C level for a publicly traded company, and these leeches were the biggest Problem I
Wow amazing, that was also my experience when I was working as a CEO of a fortune 50 executive at a publicly traded company!
I got better.
