Snowe, an admin, complained about a transgender person being offended over being misgendered. Ategon made an apology post but keeps snowe on, no public apologies from snowe to the transgender people affected.

note: conversation about Ategon’s use of the word triggered edited out, might be misunderstanding, need clarified

    Well what I’m describing isn’t really school specific. The majority of CS grads are careerists who really don’t care about the actual field. At least in my achool where they are the biggest major. It seems they cheat through the theory part because they know they’re gonna make 100k writing CRUD apps. This isn’t a moral indictment or anything. I’m pointing this out to show that most professional programmers don’t actually use any theory. What they do day to day should in theory should be trivial enough that most people could do it. In an ideal world that would be the case, and CS majors would only be needed for things requiring actual deep knowledge, much like professional writers.

    I do agree that the issue is social. It’s a matter of educational policy and for lack of a better word, orthography.

      what I’m saying is that people have been trying to trivialize it for 60+ years and it hasn’t worked yet - it remains a trade that takes ~8 years in and out of school to achieve useful proficiency.
