5️⃣ Universities vs. Industry Needs: Are schools preparing students for industry or academic research? What should their goals be?
6️⃣ Degree Confusion: Why students struggle to navigate differences between computer science and software engineering programs.
7️⃣ Niche or Necessity? Why XP, a small sector of the software industry, may not get the spotlight it deserves in schools.
8️⃣ Unit Testing's Lone Survival: Is unit testing finding its way into classrooms, but XP is not?
9️⃣ The “Unknown Unknowns” Problem: What happens when students don’t even realize the value XP could bring to their careers.
