&gt; Here’s why: There’s No Feedback Loop Between Industry &amp; Universities<p>On what? On computer science? Sorry, but industry does not use <i>computer science</i>, it uses <i>IT</i> -- hence it cannot give any feedback.<p>Universities are not predisposed to teach what&#x27;s necessary in industry, for various reasons (students&#x27; motivation has structure different from what will be in daily job, there&#x27;s lack of big things (longer than half a year) to write as assignments, lack of appropriate hardware (because it&#x27;s too expensive to not earn for itself, but universities can&#x27;t earn this way)).<p>And guess who is predisposed to teach skills necessary in industry? It&#x27;s industry!
