It doesn't. I just think I would have liked you as a teacher, and most I met didn't not have your point of view.

To be clear: I'm not a teacher. I've been in software for 30 years.

Lots of people my age in the biz don't have CS or MIS degrees. Most of the degrees back then were lagging real-world tech in a huge way, so we mostly taught ourselves. Our degrees are in things like physics, or math, or engineering, or political science, or (like me) literature & creative writing.

Specialization is for insects. ;)
