"Yes, the music was sortof hilarious. Hero complex, I suppose." - Yuvi

"Hopefully, yes :) But that would require actual serious consequences, which I don't see happening yet. Hopefully, naive college students and their parents still join college on the hopes of 'job at Infosys / equivalent IT company', without really understanding what they're getting into. Hope for the future, I guess :)" - Yuvi

"I'm simply saying that you can't 'expect' to get a job when you are not competent, nor have shown any past interest in being competent. That is all." - Yuvi

"Not that high a bar, man." - Yuvi

"I've been writing code since I was in middle school, so would consider myself an outlier. University doesn't really promote all these things - their primary aim seems to be to boost placement numbers rather than actually learn. The best thing they did to me was to decide to leave me alone, but I just got lucky. Most of my classmates don't really give a shit about programming. A good number still do not know if there has to be a space between 'int' and 'i'. It is pointless trying to teach them, since they are not really interested. Which is what confuses me, since they profess to not being interested in writing code and then get mad about not getting coding jobs." - Yuvi

"While not the same, it *is* sortof an equivalent, in that it stopped work in that field for a while, because Google had it nailed. People had stopped building things around RSS, instead using Google Reader's unofficial API (which had sync and other things for free). But there is not really an 'extinguish' part to this story, I guess - RSS is still alive and well, and will probably bound back since the playing field is now wide open. The death of Google Reader is probably a good thing - new feed readers with much more innovative features would turn up, and some already have. So yes, it might be very different from what Microsoft did. But personally, I've never witnessed (or tried to understand) what it was that Microsoft did - and this is the closest I've got so far." - Yuvi

"Yes! Added request at meta and submitted https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r..., waiting for someone to merge :)" - Yuvi

"Thanks :)" - Yuvi

"It is never too late :) give it a serious shot" - Yuvi
