If the cost of your software development is low and can be easily tested, i.e. no end-user creativity is allowed, then software quality really does not mean much. Software assurance is the big player here.
i.e. A poorly designed but well documented and well tested system can easily be more desirable than an (expensive) well designed project. I have yet to see an inexpensive well designed project.
The answer is, if management really could not care then there is little you can do unless you become boss and either save the company a lot or cost them a lot.
Most of their theory falls apart in how they draw a map of the world. According to them, the edge of the earth is the "antarctic rim". However, their map shows it as being something like 80,000 miles long.
Clearly this is at odds with measurement, and if you say anything different they generally say something like "lies! all lies!".
I tried to give them a theory that they could use: That space stretches as you travel south from the equator. So as you get to the antarctic rim, you are stretched along the lines of latitude so that measurement yields something closer to 3,000-4,000 miles. But, however, noone there has taken up the theory.:)
I can vouch that he took it well.:) Everyone had a big yuk. Almost every developer spotted the attack instantly since the google spoof was poorly done.
If you graduated in a field of study, and are not skilled in it, then it sounds like you should simply forget you went to a university. Find something you are skilled at and then excel at it. Many great people have done this. Or.............. Why don't you simply try to excel at programming. Most programming is simply putting your nose to the grindstone. Bad programmers are frequently just lazy.
Pit several software teams against each other. Instruct one team to use one set of methods. Instruct another team to use another set of methods. Each team is given a time budget.
Give them each a unit test framework. Their project is not complete until it passes. Now, change requirements, and do it all over again, several times.
the method showing consistently lower overall cost might be considered "better" than others with higer costs.
Well yes I did, but it had no driver for my
wireless card. No driver == No access.
If there was an option to make it magically work
then it was hidden.
I had to magically know to use ndiswrapper
and even then I had to magically know to get
ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils.
WI-FI configuration better but still sucks for linux. For the most part it is not the fault of linux, I know, but of closed source vendors.
WI-FI on linux still sucks for the most part,
because WIFI card makers still very close-source minded. Frequently, you have to be "smarter than the average bear" to get it working.
i.e. Suppose you have to use ndiswrapper.
You generally have to have your wired connection
before you can get your wireless connection
working.
Most of the time at college or other places of learning, you tend to emulate the people around you. If you are surrounded by geniuses, you want to be more like them. So.. If you are truly interested in the "science" of programming, go to the smartest school you get into.
If you are more interested in just getting a job, go to the most practical place.
Yes, your professors are boring and disinterested.
The assignments are tough and tedious.
Your eventual job will be much the same.
But..... You get to work on stuff that interests you.
If you do not get your jollies creating
Free Body Diagrams, whetstone bridges, or Karnaugh maps, perhaps you should
go review zombie films.

monogamy is basically forced on men because
it improves social order.
surely it must be so

Tell the company you can save them "X" dollars per year by doing "Y".
Then follow through. The proof will be in the

Cowboy Neal died and left you all of his money in the sum of $26,000,000 USD. Simply reply and you will get your due!
I am not a flat earther, but you would be hardpressed to say this proves anything.
You would have to fly past the "antarctic rim"
If you did this, then they would either say,
"you lie" or "you were lost"

Take your camera run over it with a car.
"oops, sorry about your phone, perhaps
you should be more careful".
then you take your real camera to court.
I can vouch that he took it well. :)

Here is an a good graduate studies problem:
Pit several software teams against each other.
Instruct one team to use one set of methods.
Instruct another team to use another set of methods.
Each team is given a time budget.
Give them each a unit test framework.
Their project is not complete until it passes.
Now, change requirements, and do it all over again,
several times.

might be considered "better" than others with
higer costs.

very lame
More information faster simply accelerates
you on the path you have chosen.
(being stupid is frequently a choice, not
a condition)
first of all, it is now fully open source.
(was previously closed)
secondly, it is expressly forbidden to use java in a nuclear power facility.
Hence the wink.
maybe ;-)
Only the really stupid terrorists (98%) believe
this bit about not being able to decrypt.
A good programming language allows you to
solve your programming
problem with a minimum of effort.
Solving your problem means a lot if different things.
In my opinion, software that forms the foundation of other software should be strongly typed. Maintenance becomes a nightmare without such typing.
For end-programmer applications, I would think that anything that allows you to be done as quickly as possible is best.
