Love this, and you're totally write on all fronts. The MS environment is rock solid, especially now with the open-source community backing it. Not only do they now own GitHub, MS related open-source projects dwarf all others by a significant margin. With respect to CS grads, I find it so funny to hear you say this. In two out of three places I've work, there have been CS grads at various times. In the past I was insecure that I didn't have a CS background, my "official" training is in Neuroscience. But I was always so deeply disappointed how little CS grads could actually do, and how much hand holding they required. There is obviously a level of maturity to it. But I always found grads from a college (here in Canada it's a different thing, with a strong focus on hands-on learning) were significantly more prepared for the job.
