@thomasfuchs My CS degree at #OxfordBrookesUniversity from 2008–2012 included plenty of programming. I recall one module in which we had to create a system for scoring tennis using model–view–controller and the composite pattern. At least two web modules: one more frontend, the other PHP + MySQL. Made a game in Processing. So, I guess it depends on the particular degree.
Small moth on the wall in the office. Hope it doesn't end up in the computer.
It's a popular #myth that the term #bug, in the realm of software, comes from a moment in 1947 when computing pioneer Grace Hopper attributed a problem with an electromechanical computer to a moth trapped in a relay. She famously taped the moth onto a page in the machine's logbook.
In fact, this meaning of bug had been around at least as early as the 1870s, when Thomas Edison used it to describe "little faults and difficulties" in his inventions.
