The problem with a university education is that it is becoming less relevant. A formal education doesn't necessarily teach people to deliver software, which is critical for the captialist society we live in to operate.
A monoculture is seen to be negative due to this insane emphasis on diversity recently. Diversity generally hinders resource pooling which is what allows monumental things to be created.
For the record, I am a pure autodidact with no formal qualifications.
- pyre 17y agoI'm not necessarily saying that people need to have a university education to be a productive member of the tech/developer community. But I believe that without a diversity of ideas, the tech community will languish. Requiring a university education for everyone isn't necessarily the answer, but neither is diluting a university education by turning it into a vocational curriculum.
