CS programs encourage the idea (already common among students) that software engineers are professionals. First contact with the industry demonstrates that to the extent that folks have grown since graduation, its in their ability to delay the inevitable collapse of ugly hacks.

This is a very hot take and also not a new one but here we go: the goal of a properly functioning software engineer is to obviate themselves, not by solving the customer’s specific problems but by blurring the line between using a computer and programming one to the point where users can solve their own problems.

Another formulation: the best of today’s GUIs make easy things easy and hard things impossible. The best of today’s programming languages make easy things hard and hard things harder. We don’t have a system that makes easy things easy and hard things merely hard for backwards-compatibility reasons.
