Thanks! Is there a name for this?

I just made pic related, in one my absolutely retarded classes I got points off for 'not enough comments' because I used descriptive variable names and lots of descriptive helper functions. TA literally wanted something like this. Our midterm literally had the sentence 'do not make helper functions, put everything in main'.

I literally don't know where I'd be without my internship and oncampus job. My curriculum is literally retarded

>'do not make helper functions, put everything in main'.
Why do they insist on unit tests and OOP encapsulation and other bullshit, then discourage *actually good* technique?

It's funny because after two years of programing you start to understand what truly bad code looks like.
Everyone writes like shit at the start though.

I'm not implying that those first things are objectively bad, just they introduce them really early as if they're all that matters when really you should be learning how to actually write code well and design programs
I don't think the US is ready to teach CS

Thank you!

I couldn't tell you honestly. We never learn any version control, never learn about code maintainability, never TDD, never Agile/Scrum.

This was your first mistake.
Your professors ended up teaching because they couldn't make it in the real world.
