    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.
