I spent 8.5 years teaching at a lower-tier, public "access" university in the US. Don't get me wrong, it was great for what it did, and I was fortunate to work with a lot of awesome people. But we were far from an elite, exclusive institution like Harvard or MIT.

For many years I served on the CS department's graduate admissions committee. Lots of our MS applicants talked about working on sites for major US / western brands, and lots of those kids did not make the cutoff for even our relatively low bar for admission.

I think about that a lot whenever I see that a multibillion dollar multinational corporation has a web page that doesn't work at all.
