This has been common in Sweden for decades, I had it in my previous house almost 20 years ago. If I remember correctly it was a 100m borehole. The only limitation is that certain soil/rock environments work better than others, so it's not suitable for all locations.

Heated our house in northen Sweden just fine in -20/30C winters.

It's a little unfair to criticise a CS course for not being a SWE course. But I agree that graduating students in CS without having covered the basic requirements in the SWE day job most of them will move into is a disservice.

I did CS (30 years ago) and things entirely missing in the syllabus back then:

  • any and all soft skills
  • version control
  • refactoring
  • testing and the value of testing
  • staging and replicated environments for raw dev, QA, live, etc

Python was always strongly typed. For years there has been optional static typing and - you know - unit tests.

If you're having significant issues due to not knowing what types you're using, the type system may not be your greatest problem...

Maybe not quite so much these days. I use Outlook at work, but that's been the limit of my MS contact in tech for a few years now (apart from the odd Teams meeting I've been invited to). It used to be worse in terms of lock in, IMO.

I agree from the opposite direction:

20 years ago I switched to zero drop minimalist footwear for running, hiking, and almost all everyday activities (everything except weddings and funerals). I only wear footwear that has no relation at all to my foot's arch, my weight, or my gait.

Best decision for my knees, ankles, and hips I think I ever made.

CLion & PyCharm.

Platform independent, and "just work". Not missing any functionality I ever wanted and with a new machine even CLion's almost legendary slowness is under control.
