There's a big difference between writing code to
solve problems and being
a software engineer. Designing, coding, and compiling is only 40% of the
battle. Hopefully you're also spending some time planning and testing.
To me planning and testing are such obviously important parts of any
development process that I didn't mention them in my original post,
assuming (I hope correctly) that most everyone on this list is as
old-fashioned as I am ;>)
We recently interviewed an electronics engineering
graduate who didn't
know
the difference between NPN and PNP transistors !! What
do they teach kids
these days ??
I repeat, the "faculty" of the "institution" which issued this fellow
a
degree should be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail.
