I feel like there need to be multiple CS pathways. For example, people who want to go into hardware development might take a set of courses more closely aligned with electrical engineering. Another set of skills might be aligned with data center management. Another might focus on distributed web application engineering. That’s where I ended up, and nobody ever taught me in college when would be an appropriate case for implementing a cache, what options exist to solve that problem, how to administer them, etc. When I hire for entry level DevOps people, there’s usually a skill gap between “I’ve built some cloud servers” and “I have specific experience managing redis caches and ElasticSearch clusters.”
There was an attempt by Twitter at one point to use “420 Enhance Your Calm” as a code to indicate you’re being rate limited.
