Dear university computer science/informatics/infosec programs of the world, stop letting students graduate without command line experience. We still need that experience.

@climagic

Indeed there are entire countries (#UK, #Norway) where you can graduate without actually knowing how a computer works.

Which is why when I have to hire developers, I look towards #France, #Germany and #Switzerland. You do tend to get what you pay for (which is a lot).

And of course, the #Chinese are producing some super clever professionals, but there's the disadvantage of language barrier and physical proximity in my case.

Generalising but not much.

@0 @climagic I heard the UK is making programming obligatory for young children in their pre-teens.
