@kf such an important point. I've brought this up with people at work, "what happens in 5-15 years? what do developers look like then?" It gets brushed off.

@bit101 Exactly. It basically applies to any kind of intellectual endeavor, and I am very disappointed that the university I am working for seems to have swallowed the hype completely. It's such a short-term thinking. And as an educator it's kind of my job to think in a longer term.

@bit101 Imagine a coach that enthusiastically tells the kids to use a forklift in the gym to lift weights, to increase their efficiency... It's just sad and absurd.
