[討論] 軟體產業對博士的看法?

[vicptt (Second Life)]

"People who are Smart but don't Get Things Done often have PhDs and work in
big companies where nobody listens to them because they are completely
impractical. They would rather mull over something academic about a problem
rather than ship on time. These kind of people can be identified because they
love to point out the theoretical similarity between two widely divergent
concepts. For example, they will say, “Spreadsheets are really just a
special case of programming language,” and then go off for a week and write
a thrilling, brilliant whitepaper about the theoretical computational
linguistic attributes of a spreadsheet as a programming language. Smart, but
not useful. The other way to identify these people is that they have a
tendency to show up at your office, coffee mug in hand, and try to start a
long conversation about the relative merits of Java introspection vs. COM
type libraries, on the day you are trying to ship a beta."
