    CS lecturers aren’t necessarily good programmers. If people workong at big tech companies would do this in their spare time, now that would be fantastic.

    I saw my lecturers code. It was some of the worst code I’ve ever seen. If they’d written it in any company I’ve worked for over the last 20 years they’d have been sacked.

    Most lecturers are more about the theory and computer science, not the practicalities of software engineering.

    hey I know you’re working 40 hours a week but how about you work 40 more hours a week but for free?

    Hell I firmly believe that there are no developers who write their best code at the end of the week. 30 hours of coding a week should be a hard limit at companies.

        I only have about 8 hours of meetings a week and that’s as a staff eng. Sounds like your place needs to drop a buncha meetings. Lemme guess: your managers have never been engineers before?

          Other way around. Managers were engineers and want to micromanage implementation details.
