Please don't let academics plant more ideas in the heads of students about what software development is.

Last time we did that, we got the Google/Leetcode interview that too many people are still cargo-culting. (Not realizing that it was originally what a professor thinks is important in industry software development, and then morphed even worse, into stereotypical university fraternity class filtering and hazing. Now you have other people, who should be scrappy street kid fighters, deciding who can join their gangs based on how good their posh accent, because they want to make money, and posh accents is what rich people seem to do.)

Academics should stay in their lane. And students should be very skeptical when academics swerve the school bus into oncoming traffic.
