    People learn to pass tests, and do computer labs. They have hands on experience in several computer languages. But that is a far cry from what is really needed.

    Probably most schools give the fundamentals regardless of country.

    Can’t tell who has talent until they try to work a lot; often the people who do not code on their own are not very good, period

    I think a student should at least do a few hours average work each week on their own projects , regardless of tech stack. It really shows after 4 years.

    it’s like night and day between those that do this as a hobby and go to school ; verses the people who pass tests and do group projects in the labs but don’t do anything outside of what is required.
