many of you are coders. based on anecdote, in IT your degree doesn't matter they skill test you in interviews on your merit? Care to chime in? worth going to college to learn to code? or learn to code for free via the internet? (my anecdote is a UofI whitehat who worked at IBM.https://twitter.com/n00bedJermeh/status/1153500562341715968 …
I greatly benefited from my computer scince education -- I would never have designed anything like bit gold without it -- but it was a top 10 school in that subject and it was computer science, not grievance studies.

but when did you attend college?
-
is the for free information now available greater than or equal to what you received at the time?
-
consider now that a top 10 education is the equivalent price to a mortgage on a very nice home.

Yes, this was many decades ago, tuition costs were far lower than today. There were a few needs-based grants and very few student loans, so no vast pool of artificial demand that has caused today's astronomical tuition.

And it was real computer science, heavy on discrete math, where you have to learn in detail the difference between DFAs, PDAs, and Turing machines, you learn about operating systems and networks via Petri nets, etc. Not mere programming classes advertised as "computer science".
-
well you just went above my paygrade on the computer science aspects, but I think I catch your drift that, that is not what is being taught today (for most)

That's awesome that you benefited from your computer science degree, but where did you get your economic knowledge? There are many 10X programmers but only 1/100th of them have an idea about monetary theory.

second this^ very curious inquisition in this space!

masters in computer science from one of the first 4 nodes on the internet. a degree will give you exposure to all parts of CS at the cost of distracting your most curious, most productive years. if you want to build-just build, follow your heart.
