As someone of middle age that’s been thinking of a career change away from all my BofH open source tech roots, and maybe going back to school, I’ve been very disheartened to see how married a lot of curriculums in public universities are to specific companies. Maybe it was always like this and I didn’t notice, I can imagine if you did an engineering program in the 80’s you’d have Boeing employees as professors, but fuck me if I’m going to go to Adobe art school.
