    Contrarian ass article. I can’t read the whole.thing but I don’t really need to. Personally I thing the university model.of paying a lot of money to take graded classes to earn degrees which are the primary white collar job crediental is a broken model. There’s a lot of code that needs to be written, I have a half dozen projects I wanna make but none for a boss.

      Absolutely. It and a lot of other things should be approached like the trades. Work experience and (paid)internships. Once you learn the basic core concepts of computers and a single high-level programming language. 70 to 80% of the knowledge can transfer with relative ease to any other high-level programming language. The main differences would be chosen tooling and worksite demands. Which you will only understand by doing.
