Interns have degree's in 'Computer Science'.
I do not, Just a microsoft crash course on C# and SQL.
They are 3 - 4 years older than i am, yet they don't know how to use CSS.
I wonder what they learnt in that 4 years?

Comparing SQL to CSS is like Comparing bulldozers to bricks.

Haha @Microsoft crash course. It does that a lot, but I didn't know that it was a professional job to crash it.

They learnt Taylors method and all that stuff 😂 (in india)

Computer science is more about algorithms and structure of programs and data.

Css is design and very different.

Like comparing grammar and poetry.
Both are about writing but with very different target audience.

I graduated as a computer science student and I can very confidently say that I don't know the first thing about CSS. Or HTML. Or modern web dev. Or app dev.

CS isn't about development, that's software engineering. CS is about the whys, the maths behind it all, the algorithms and data structures that underpin everything, programming language and compiler design techniques, computer architecture and design, networking and distributed system theory, mathematical logic and system modelling, that sort of thing.

@Voxera True, i agree 100%. Though as someone who does programming you should at least know the basics of HTML and CSS. Besides it's not hard to understand anyway.

@CooCooK4Choo honestly if I can avoid it I will. I do not want to do web development. I'm studying to do other things. So what do I need to know this for?

I could also say that every dev should know at least basic c/c++. That would make more sense and would be more general then saying devs should know html and CSS. Not everything is web development. <.<

I've asked them what they learnt and they said "Python, Java and C".

I understand computer science is more Algorithm and Structure based.

I do feel sorry for them that they still have to learn C#, html and CSS, especially working here at a young company, but it's not difficult at all. This just gives me a better understanding of where they are, what they know and what i have to focus on when training them.

@hasu We're a web development company

lol css ..rofl.. its not for programmers btw...thats your lesson one .. and as per your fact it would take less than hour for those cs grads to learn and implement css... for them thinking of what a button does and how it doea is more important than how it looks..lol

@CooCooK4Choo Yes but a Degree does not mean that one has html or CSS knowledge. However, it does puzzle me that they have not put any effort into learning it if they are working for that company.

@hasu maybe they don't wanna go into web dev side(Depends upon one's interests).A company might be handling various projects from game development to AI protects.So it won't be feasible for someone to know the basics of all.

@CoffeeMakesCode true. But then why the rant? If they are in deferent fields, then what's the problem of them not knowing html/css?

@hasu I too think that there is no problem of them not knowing html/css.Also knowing a language is relative term.Maybe they know html/css, just their basics and according to them knowing a language means creating many projects via that language.

Uuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Lemme have you in a lil secret: software engineering goes way beyond web development. That's right! There are kernel developers, systems engineers and ml scientists out there killing it without having to code a single fucking form.

And bless them for that. Try and scoff at Linus Torvalds for not giving a rat's ass about html and css....
