I'm a reporter doing a story for a tech website on computer science education, the need for software engineers, and the proficiency of new engineer hires.

I would love to chat or exchange emails with anyone on this site who has an opinion on cs education and whether it did or did not prepare them for a job, and the pluses and minuses of the theoretical vs. the practical.

I saw 1051's post and its comments and would love to connect with the poster and any of the commenters. Or anyone else with an opinion.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you.
