On: You are never taught how to build quality software

[ska]

What I'm saying is that if your goal is to introduce more engineering rigor and your plan is for for the tiny percentage of graduate school graduates to percolate these ideas through the industry, it's probably a bad plan and likely to fail.

This was a thread about why software developers don't do engineering like other disciplines. One partial answer is that those other disciplines take it much more seriously at the undergraduate level, at least on average.

Probably the more compelling answer is that the industry doesn't' really want them to for the most part.

I really wouldn't.

This is it. Everyone is making money hand over fist despite not doing it. You might want it, but you don't need it.

Sad but true.
