  • Really sad if so :(

    Educationally, computing is one of those fields that suffers particularly from "Those who can...", the gap between industry and academic wages and resources being so huge. There are some centres of real excellence and a lot of mediocrity. The range of people choosing to study/work in computing is much broader and more diverse than it used to be, which ought to help improve the creativity and variety in teaching as well. Counterbalancing that, though, is pressure on the universities/colleges to prioritise practical modules on industry-standard tech. I know one place that had some really inspiring educators on the staff, but their very engaging and creative content was steadily marginalised or removed; getting practical things done in Python displacing original thinking about computing fundamentals. So it goes.
