Saw a rant about a teacher so I thought I'd share one of my experiences.

So I had this teacher who was supposed to teach us the basics of web development (HTML, CSS and some basic PHP).
Now this guy didn't really like me very much but that is besides the point.
One day me and a classmate were working on an assignment in class, we ran into a problem but we couldn't find the mistake in the code. So we went to ask the teacher. We explain the whole thing, the teacher stares at our code for a good couple minutes (while the problem can only be in a few lines) and then says something along the lines off: "I don't like that you put your curly brackets on the same line as the if statement, fix that first and then come back"

Needless to say, my classmate and I were standing there with our minds blown.

He knew nothing about PHP, all he did was read out power points.
On top of that, a quick LinkedIn search proved that he normally works as PM an that he has no coding experience!

WHY WAS THIS DUDE FUCKING HIRED????

    He was hired to fill in the space! And for those who says you have to learn by yourself in college/university then why the fuck I'm paying for? and why the fuck I have to attend classes?

    @rookiemaverick This is worth remembering. I'm appending it to my opinion about universities.

    Programming rarely requires a degree but you won't get past HR without it. It's stupid

    @demortes yes it is, I don't have an degree. when I was going to college I had one good teacher for a half of a semester. it was supposed to be an 2 hour long night class two days a week. we only meet one day a week, he was a Java developer teaching visual basic. I put in the entire classes work the first day and his email notification keep beeping every 5 minutes until he turned it off

    One of the reasons that people aren't more interested in programming is that they're put off by bad teachers or teachers that don't know much (don't get me wrong - there are some brilliant teachers). That's a real shame - all that wasted opportunity.

    I totally thought this was gonna devolve into a flamewar about curly braces on the line of the if statement vs the next line lol. Btw, I'm with you, buddy. The "next line" people can suck it!

    NO

    curly brackets are on the SAME line as IF, WHILE or FOR construct
