    Didn’t see the movie, but in the early 2000s he probably did know more than his professor. 10-years before that, my university had exactly one computer for the whole graphic design college. 20-years before that, computer class was, “Here’s, uh, this thing. Have fun.”

      In a computer science program? At an Ivy League university? After the year 2000? lol no. They had more than one computer and their CS professors would have had PHDs in Computer Science.
