    It’s a little unfair to criticise a CS course for not being a SWE course. But I agree that graduating students in CS without having covered the basic requirements in the SWE day job most of them will move into is a disservice.

    I did CS (30 years ago) and things entirely missing in the syllabus back then:

    • any and all soft skills
    • version control
    • refactoring
    • testing and the value of testing
    • staging and replicated environments for raw dev, QA, live, etc
