Time of year?
-
Is it the time of year when students need to start the final-year projects they have chosen? Or is this the time they need to decide if a project is one they want to do? I'm seeing a lot of "How do I <do some high-level complicated project>" questions. Is that what people do these days? Start a degree but want someone else to do their work? If so why become a developer? Do they think that a development job is going to be the same gig, they'll just find someone else online to do their work for them? I wish people would choose degree subjects they were interested in and had an aptitude for rather than something they think will earn them the most money. Are medical forums plagued with questions like "How to do heart transplant? Plz its urgent".

I think, the solution is much easier ... They got teached that everything is allready writen and existing. Most of them do not learn something about the "Background". I see it often on my work. Sometimes it goes a way like this : I need a door, so why not derive from roof and try to build the missing parts around.

In fairness, I doubt that many of these questions are coming from degree students, at least not those for whom computer sciences of one kind or another is the major. I've given up answering questions these days but I remember (with horror) this kind of enquiry spilling out in hordes from high school (6th form in UK) students who either had been forced by circumstance, bad advice or parental pressure to take a computing course or simply had very poor teachers.

They just started classes here, two weeks ago the roads were quiet. Now they are about four times as many cares plus the plague of mopeds and bicycles, neither of which follow the law or the speed limits but that is a different rant. So likely yes, lots of students returning and deciding what they will be doing this year.

I'm glad I had set my coffee down. The vision of some resident gowned up, half covered in blood, typing wildly on the computer while behind them was a patient completely cracked open was too much. :laugh:
