  • I dont even know what SDE means, and I am an engineer who works on software. Never got a CS degree, but I took one or two programming classes in college. I definitely couldn’t tell you what an IT person does. Did look into a CS masters once and decided I had no interest whatsoever in doing algorithm development research of any kind, or any research related to compilers, or any of that junk. It was too niche for me. Anyway, dunno what the point of this comment was supposed to be. I guess what im saying is, yes, I agree, the “need to go to college” thing is overrated. We need to teach kids there are a lot of paths to take, and not all of them leave you with crushing debt.













  • Because they grew up with it? I cant think of any other reason. I used it in college for a class bcz my old as fuck professor required it. Its obtuse, old, and doesn’t have a lot of functionality of modern code editors.

    The only people who want to use it are people who started with it decades ago, or people who were forced to use it, and now think they’re superior somehow to everyone else who doesn’t use it.
