This thread has sunk to blanket condemnation and name-calling. I don't believe that the PPIG list is an appropriate forum for this level of unprofessionalism; if you must, adjourn to the pub or private email. I have too much respect for my colleagues at the secondary and tertiary level the world over who work too hard for too little to tolerate this level of condescension and pointless prattle.
Thanks, M
I lay a large chunk of the blame at the feet of CS educators who would clearly fail an introductory course in business administration. Perhaps I was wrong to suggest that software developers should be jailed. Jailing a few university lecturers for teaching nonsense might be a more efficient long term solution.
