Yes, that is absolutely true - as an example, smaller institutions like mine nearly always hire CS or business profs at associate or full level if they have any industry experience, just so the pay cut they take isn't quite as horrendous.
Also, think of it this way - every time someone who doesn't know what they are doing in engineering (like me) can focus on math, that is a net win for Sage and the other ODK projects overall. Time isn't completely fungible, but it's at least partly so. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
