      One the job training is fine if you expect to be programming for only 5-10 years. A 30-50 year career requires a foundation that you are unlikely to get on the job. If you love programming, get your CS degree.

      This does not seem true.

      There is nothing special about academic institutions that hold the keys to CS knowledge. I've been programming for 12 years. Are you suggesting I should take a four year break to go back to school?

      Will Hunting drastically overestimates my ability to return library books on time

      Apropos of nothing, library fines seem very poorly calibrated to the desired outcomes :p

      I know I still have a couple, I noticed the library stamp on them when moving house... What's the statute of limitations on late fees? 😳

      There is presumably some point where people stop going to the library at all for fear of late fees and also don't return the book. Lose-lose?

          Some libraries cap fees at the cost of replacing the book which makes sense. More should do it! Also, amnesties:https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2009/jun/16/talk-out-library-fines …

          I'm also questioning whether fines are the best approach in the first place. They appear to be economic incentives but the impact is widely disparate and for many people negligible.
