I often get the idea that there's been sort of this slump of scale that occurred somewhere in the 80s where the pioneers of CS found themselves suddenly flooded with new people. The challenge moved from thinking of better ways to "do CS" to teaching what already existed.

Sometimes I think we're just now getting back around to where people were at in the 80s—albeit at much greater scale. Sometimes I think we're not there yet. Sometimes I think I'm just sort of thinking wistfully about some golden age of yore.
