A “staff+ engineer” has three primary responsibilities:
- be burned out from coding
- find ridiculous justifications why bug fixing has to be punted in favor of more features, yet again
- exasperated tweets about 8+ hours of non-stop meetings

College can’t prepare you for that.

I think CS academics are asking the wrong question when they ask "what does industry want?".

Instead, they should talk to staff+ software engineers, who have done mentorship work, and ask them about what skills are important. I suspect they'll get widely different answers.
