Some snarky drift: Then post-college commercial reality sets in, where using mind numbing boilerplate supported by frameworks and heavy ides (as opposed to libraries, custom or otherwise, and an editor), is SOP. Join the programming masses and literally think inside the box(es). So why did you go to college now?

So that you can realize that you're inside a box, and leave it on those few opportunities that present themselves (and, perhaps, specifically seek out such opportunities).
