Twitter influence is now a not-insignificant leg up in faculty hiring and academic politics. It’s becoming really hard to take academic science seriously.

I'll give some examples in the most strong-man way possible: by choosing the standard library of a famously verbose language (Java). Here are a few examples, with increasing levels of abstraction mapping onto increasing…

Attending courses for four years, including many outside of your major, and doing enough work to not fail. It's a low bar. Very low. But still much higher than the bar at bootcamps. Anecdotally, the only positive…
