No wonder CompSci grads are unemployed

hey. you get what you ask for

All you bright, shiny management types... you whined about geeky, nerdy CS/EE types not being able to communicate, no social skills (10+ years ago). Here you go. You get WTF the asked for.

basic, simple memory management too hard? hey. use java. Java really is the new COBOL.

But it's ok. just hire those super-qualified East and South Asian wizards, cheap, indentured servants, and super-qualified, right?

What? resumes/CVs padded? web sites and blogs just shamelessly plagiarized from the real creators/inventors? can't communicate? no social skills? wrong timezone?? follow-the-sun not quite working?? (oops? nah.)

Not to worry.

Unis pandering to corporate money and dumb-down their curriculae? No problem. Quantity, not quality, right?

But wait. CS/EE/SWeng/etc. salaries down? "career" lifetime <10 years?? Professional SW engineers forced out at age 35 because they're "too old/obsolete"? the real best&brightest observe this and avoid even the best CS/EE/SWeng unis? Can't find qualified applicants? innovation pipeline empty?

FU. Hire some more smarmy MBAs to blow smoke up your butts.

And enjoy. Wallow in it.
