    I don't care if they have credentials. I hope that they have the knowledge that is commonly correlated w those credentials.https://twitter.com/josecamoessilva/status/1486837114633220097 …

    Not all degrees are worthless. I for one hope that people who design the grid, refineries, blast furnaces, airplanes, cars, car factories, pharmaceuticals, rockets, CCGTs, nuclear power plants, etc have a valid credential or two in the appropriate STEM fields.

        2/ for non CS STEM stuff, yes, I agree, this is the most effective currently available path ...however at my university, on-topic classes were ~ 1/3 of total course load, bc of mandatory distributions (i.e. cross subsidies to useless departments)https://twitter.com/josecamoessilva/status/1486838006480654338 …

        Okay. And for most people the most effective and efficient way to get that knowledge is going to one of these universities and get the degree that confirms they have done so (and, coincidentally, that they can work within an existing system, which they'll need to).

        100% against the mandatory useless courses (like humanities, etc for STEM), though not on foundational ones like math (you never know what you'll need). Also, some CS (especially on the hardware side) benefits from universities' fixed capital (ex: telco labs).

        4/ The point of the sarcasm of course is that "building in all sorts of stuff on the OFF chance that you'll need it" falls afoul of optimizing on other axises. I suspect that there's a Dijkstra quote that fits this...
