Venturing beyond the office, with Computer Science
There is this perception that a typical programming job involves being locked away in a grey cubicle at some LargeCorp Inc., buried in mediocre tasks, and rarely seeing the light of day. While this grim illustration is not exactly the case, there is some motive to such stereotype.
So we’ll be going on an adventure through on-site programming positions that are anything but typical.
Computer Science jobs for University Students
I’m often asked about available jobs for Computer Science students. More so in light of the recent economic downturn. A new trend that I’m observing, since 2 years ago, is that there is a substantial increase of job postings from much smaller start-up companies.
Economic hardship breeds innovation. It puts large corporations into a compromised position, and that opens up an opportunity for small, agile, smart, inexpensive, but super-productive startups to come into play and compete with established corporations.
Blocking students on school network is wrong
Just because we might have access to some technology to fix a problem, does not necessarily mean that the problem itself is a technical one. Such as breaking our systems, to limit their use.
“I think this is one of those problems that does not need a technological solution, but a social one.”
