Software Apprenticeships
Rob Walling has an excellent article about software apprenticeships. I've always thought of how I went through graduate school as an apprenticeship and then starting DelMar IT with Kyle as a continuation of that. I've sort of moved up to the position of journeyman and ,hopefully, it will work out that we'll find some good undergrad or grad students to come on as apprentices after graduation. Of course short term interns fit into this model as well. But I don't really think of them as appretices since they aren't around long enough.
I thought this quote from the article was particulary insightful/funny.
When you study theory there are no mistakes: code is bug-free, APIs are perfect, and operating systems never, ever crash. That's why there's not a "blue screen" shape in UML.
