Academia has a disconnect with the industry when it comes to coding practices. Most teachers haven’t much industry experience. They don’t know how it is to maintain a 10 year old project using SOLID and clean code principles.
They just teach whatever has already been in the curriculum for decades. They don’t know that whatever they’re teaching is actually harmful in the industry.
Oh man, taking the reference code for an academic white paper and trying to add something to it is a trip.
Almost never any thought beyond proving the point of the paper.
