I just got a phone call from a friend in his last quarter at a top 10 uni last night - he was stressed out because his research group hadn&#x27;t actually written any code yet. It was all copy pasted from other projects.<p>They ran into some issues, and have no idea how the code base works and can&#x27;t fix it. I think (on my experience) schools teach you syntax, and lots of history. Not much application.
