I am so appalled every time I ask a group of devs and get the same answer that I’ve just stopped asking. How many of you took a distributed programming class in college? And it turns out yet again that not only am I the only one, but that none of them recollect it even being in the course catalog.

For me it was a required elective (you must take at least one of these 2-3 classes). And I went to college while web browsers were being invented.

When Cloud this and Cloud that started every university should have added it to the program. What the fuck is going on with colleges?

Definitely a problem, but I think there's always a gap here. What are colleges optimizing for with computer science programs? I would wager there is an incentive problem at the core which is causing these gaps to occur.
