Most companies & universities aren’t exposed to cutting edge or even modern technology. They stay in their bubble.

Leaving Silicon Valley, I’ve found the engineering management culture can be averse to training and allowing active skill building via development projects.

Just code that shit in Java or C++, doesn’t matter if you haven’t been trained in SQL properly or are even aware of best practices.

That culture leads to some gruesome product implementations & upgrade scenarios.

Hell, our IT department blocks this very website from being accessed.

I access it from my personal devices.
