Academia in relevancy shocker
At work today, I spent most of the day mentoring one of my project’s testers in the use of NUnit and test-driven development. Despite normally working in tech support, the guy’s actually got a computer science degree from the same university as me. Consequently, it was fairly easy going and quite enjoyable. I felt so proud when his little face lit up at the sight of a full set of green lights. ;)
One thing that surprised me, however, was his revelation that the university now teaches extreme programming and the agile manifesto. I was stunned. When I was there, they were grudgingly accepting that it might be worth teaching a little bit of C instead of just Modula-2. To hear that they’re up to speed with the latest commercial trends is like hearing that the Pope has just declared himself a Darwinist. Unbelievable. Cool, but unbelievable.
Z. Hahahahahahahahahahhaha!
