    And the reason tuition rates are going up is because of the increase in the money supply in the higher education system, which itself is entirely caused by the increased availability and ease of acquiring of student loans.

    They've been really nasty and partisan for more than 10 years now.

    I've been programming professionally for almost 20 years and I couldn't write a function on the fly to balance a binary tree, even if I was wide awake and refreshed; never mind after having been on a plane for 24 hours. It's not something I've ever, ever had to deal with except maybe in when the professor mentioned it in passing during algorithms class in college.

    So I guess I'm incompetent.

    Must be nice to be smart like you though.

  22. . But if you can't code a sorting algorithm without a reference, ... then you don't have the skills I need.

    Except for a very small subset of the industry, the only skill you need to code a sorting algorithm is knowing how to type in the search box on google (or stackoverflow). Or know how to call whatever the sort() function is in whatever language you're using.

    It's simply not knowledge that's relevant anymore.
