re: #146 McSpiff

As an engineering student, nothing pisses me off more than the guys in my class who assume that after 4 years they know more than the techs and trades guys we work with. I know next to nothing, and I’ve learned a hell of a lot more from those guys than most lectures…

It’s worse in software engineering because you have all the hotshot, fresh out of college kids who think that just because they got straight A’s while LAN-partying through school, that means they can program anything perfectly the first time in their sleep. I’ll admit it; I was a bit overconfident myself when I first jumped into the business. I paid for it by getting let go from my first job.
