The world if cs lecturers write foss programs in their free time
hey I know you’re working 40 hours a week but how about you work 40 more hours a week but for free?
Hell I firmly believe that there are no developers who write their best code at the end of the week. 30 hours of coding a week should be a hard limit at companies.
The same is true for most professions I feel
That seems excessive, maybe let’s make it 25. :p
With all the fuckin meetings we have, we’re lucky to get in 30 hours of coding.
I only have about 8 hours of meetings a week and that’s as a staff eng. Sounds like your place needs to drop a buncha meetings. Lemme guess: your managers have never been engineers before?
Other way around. Managers were engineers and want to micromanage implementation details.
I saw my lecturers code. It was some of the worst code I’ve ever seen. If they’d written it in any company I’ve worked for over the last 20 years they’d have been sacked.
Most lecturers are more about the theory and computer science, not the practicalities of software engineering.
CS lecturers aren’t necessarily good programmers. If people workong at big tech companies would do this in their spare time, now that would be fantastic.

This is such a weird take to be honest… it’s weird to want CS lecturers to work in their free time, it’s weird to expect their applications to be better, and it’s weird because this is something that many lecturers and programmers already do… so I don’t get it, and it feels disrespectful to all of the volunteer foss maintainers?
I hate how this image has so much manicured grass lawn.
Just baking in maintenance into the concept.
