Oh snap! Schools teaching algorithms: "Here's how to sort data in O(n log n) time!"

College CS departments be like: "Here's how to implement a red-black tree from scratch" but won't teach you about the horrors of production code written by caffeinated developers at 2AM. The Daily WTF chronicles real-world coding disasters that no algorithm class prepares you for. Nothing says "welcome to the industry" like inheriting a codebase where someone used Excel as a database and regex to parse HTML. Academia vs reality: the eternal comedy special.
