    What are counter strike lectures?

    » I wanted to enroll in Counter Strike studies, but now the lecturer only talks about theoretical mathematics and computers... *yawn* «

    Yeah, got to lay down the foundations for the perfect head shot down the line.

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    Wow. Just wow. I could not stop watching and I don't play counterstrike at all.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

    I meant computer science

    This is such a weird take to be honest… it’s weird to want CS lecturers to work in their free time, it’s weird to expect their applications to be better, and it’s weird because this is something that many lecturers and programmers already do… so I don’t get it, and it feels disrespectful to all of the volunteer foss maintainers?

    CS lecturers aren't necessarily good programmers. If people workong at big tech companies would do this in their spare time, now that would be fantastic.

    [–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago

    If only everyone in the world would work in their spare time, we'd have flying cars. Let's go for 7x10hrs a week, it'll be great.

    hey I know you're working 40 hours a week but how about you work 40 more hours a week but for free?

    Hell I firmly believe that there are no developers who write their best code at the end of the week. 30 hours of coding a week should be a hard limit at companies.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

    The same is true for most professions I feel

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

    That seems excessive, maybe let's make it 25. :p

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    With all the fuckin meetings we have, we’re lucky to get in 30 hours of coding.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    I only have about 8 hours of meetings a week and that's as a staff eng. Sounds like your place needs to drop a buncha meetings. Lemme guess: your managers have never been engineers before?

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

    Other way around. Managers were engineers and want to micromanage implementation details.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

    And then you have those overemployed people

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Such a shame they only research cs and teach new cs students.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    and produce tons of excellent, reviewed but useless code on the way.

    Solving the Rupert-Compfzkopf problem with non-euclidean endofunctors is not useless 😡

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Great, now find a project to apply it and collect your participation trophy. :-P

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

    Listen, I AM going to work this into a gitlab pipeline somehow now.

    When do I collect my trophy, I need a deadline otherwise I’ll give up.

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    I saw my lecturers code. It was some of the worst code I've ever seen. If they'd written it in any company I've worked for over the last 20 years they'd have been sacked.

    Most lecturers are more about the theory and computer science, not the practicalities of software engineering.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

    35 years in the industry. I've been helping my kid with their assignments. These profs would be sacked for even the specs they write. Just horrible. And my kid is going to decent school.

    I hate how this image has so much manicured grass lawn.

    Just baking in maintenance into the concept.
