#054 - CS Programs Should NOT Teach Git feat. ThePrimeagen
Backend Banter
Balancing Practical Skills and Foundation Knowledge in Education
The speaker highlights that it typically takes 2 to 4 years to become truly proficient in a field, such as computer science. They emphasize the value of college education where students, after the initial year, get deeply involved in hands-on practice, making them skilled and practically applicable. This contrasts with boot camps that might excel in specific areas like JavaScript but lack comprehensive knowledge. The speaker believes that there should be a balance in education between short-term practical training and long-term foundational learning, advocating for a middle ground that offers super useful skills. They express hope for a shift towards a more trade school-like approach to education, where there is a blend of practical skills and foundational knowledge for comprehensive learning.
