      A lot of kids fresh out of highschool are pressured into going to college right away. Its the societal norm for some fucking reason.

      Give these kids a break and let them go when they’re really ready. Personally I sat around for a year and a half before I felt like “fuck, this is boring lets go learn something now”. If i had gone to college straight from highschool I would’ve flunked out and just wasted all that money for nothing.

      My Java classes at uni:

      Here’s a piece of code that does nothing. Make it do nothing, but in compliance with this design pattern.

      When I say it did nothing, I mean it had literally empty function bodies.

        Not a single person I’ve worked with in software has gotten a job with just a diploma/degree since like the early 2000s

        Maybe it’s different in some places.
