    I know these concepts - after working in the industry for a while. Computer science education barely touched these topics. One professor was passionate enough to hint at test driven development, but that’s about it.

      I had a nice teacher who gave us IRL clients over the course of a full year, and basically guided us through the process while teaching us methodology theoretically as we went through the process

      I don’t think there’s a better way, honestly the theory is important, but methodology is learned by doing. I really benefitted by learning from my brother… He taught me best practices as he went through school and the workforce. So I pay it forward

      I think courses should focus more on teaching how to use libraries and debug tools… Past that, you get into skills that can’t be taught, only learned
