University: "You need our stamp to prove you're educated."

Also university: Teaches 19th-century economics while collecting payment in fiat currency that proves the curriculum is fiction.

The irony writes itself.

Be a #generalist! Having #multipleinterests is a #superpower in today’s world, contrary to societal norms that favour #specialisation.

The key to turning these interests into a lucrative career lies in #selfeducation, #selfinterest, and #selfsufficiency.

By pursuing multiple interests, individuals can develop a unique perspective and create value that cannot be easily replicated.

“Except for a couple of 200-level data structures and algorithms courses, my computer science education has been self-directed. I’ve picked up bits and pieces as I’ve gone along, but never made a formal study of it. Oh, sure, I know basic and even some advanced data structures and algorithms, but mostly because I’ve encountered them in my work. But that’s not the same thing as a formal course of #study.

One of the dangers of #SelfEducation is bypassing “unimportant” or “uninteresting” topics, and thereby leaving holes in your knowledge: holes that come back and bite you at the worst possible time.

Because I’ve never studied it formally, I’ve had difficulty with over the years with the #mathematics used when analyzing #DataStructures and #algorithms.”
