※ 引述《vicptt (Second Life)》之铭言： : "People who are Smart but don't Get Things Done often have PhDs and work in : big companies where nobody listens to them because they are completely "People who are smart but don't get things done often have PhDs" and "PhDs are those who are smart but don't get things done" are two quite different concepts. : impractical. They would rather mull over something academic about a problem : rather than ship on time. These kind of people can be identified because they : love to point out the theoretical similarity between two widely divergent : concepts. For example, they will say, “Spreadsheets are really just a : special case of programming language,” and then go off for a week and write : a thrilling, brilliant whitepaper about the theoretical computational : linguistic attributes of a spreadsheet as a programming language. Smart, but : not useful. The other way to identify these people is that they have a : tendency to show up at your office, coffee mug in hand, and try to start a : long conversation about the relative merits of Java introspection vs. COM : type libraries, on the day you are trying to ship a beta." : ~ Quote from Joel on Software A PhD in education may not be a good teacher. They told you how to be a good teacher, how to motivate students to learn, how to make students to like you. They have theories that come from a bunch of experiments. We wonder what would happen if we apply such teaching methodologies based on thoes theories on university students. However, professors in university might never evolve to learn teaching skills without their contributions. What I wanna say is that there's a good chance that a PhD in computer science is not a good programmer. We know that. I have no idea why a company would hire a PhD to be a programmer at first place... Use a cat to catch mices, not a dog. Use a dog to hunt bears, not a cat. --
