You might not like my style but critical thinking is important for engineers. Others apply it was well and those are good discussions, but if people are coming here with holes in their arguments (which everyone including myself will have) and they respond defensively or with even worse rebuttals then those responses won't stand up.
Is it not possible that everything I'm writing about Codesmith is strong arguments and there just aren't strong counter arguments? I've heard of a number of staff who left/leaving/plan on leaving this week (4).
It might be sad and come across doom and gloom, but I don't have a goal with, I just want us to have really nuanced and detailed critical arguments.
When confronted with a strong argument, like data backed analysis of the resumes of most grads show an average of 11 months of experience on their 3 week long projects, and the response is "well what about you", "you are a biased competitor", ""codesmith changed my life", like those aren't good arguments for the situation. Like if you notice patterns, talk about them openly, look at the sources and potential problems or weaknesses or explanations, qualifications and be open to critical thinking.
