College Students

Why are they all so bad at programming?
This is my second semester at Uni and I am seriously helping seniors complete their idiotic Java programming assignments. It took me three fucking hours to explain one guy the difference between a compiler and an interpreter.

I thought Universities would be filled with programming geniuses, what the hell?

This place: I have been there.

The answer you seek is simple. They're not programmers. They're SPODs that happened to major in computing. The reality is that by enabling them, instead of letting them fail into an English degree, you're just hurting society.

So fucking stop it already.
