I’m also a comp sci professor, and whenever a CS alum working in industry comes to talk to the students, I always like to ask, “What do you wish you’d taken more of in college?” Almost without exception, they answer, “Writing.” One of them said, “I do more writing at Google now than I did when I was in college.” I am therefore begging, begging you to listen to @stephstephking@mstdn.social: https://mstdn.social/@stephstephking/113336270193370876
