I wonder how the good liberal computer science majors subsisting off all that Zuckerberg money at Stanford feel about the prospect of competing with alien temps for a job.

my wag is that they don’t actually think that way. they think that stanford puts them above the hoi poli. indeed a stanford degree in computer science is guaranteed good money until age 40 or so. by then, mere programming skills won’t cut it. the programmer has to have some very good programming architecture skills, administrative/leadership skills—the ability to bring a product to market on time and budget—and if they go out on their own — entrepreneurial skills.
