@0xAnita You can always go back and finish, if it's a big concern for you.

But college is mainly a tool for getting your first job in the field. Once you establish yourself, your school records are ancient (and largely irrelevant) history.

This is some of the most beautiful code, and it's literally in color ...

(And if you don't know why it's beautiful, try converting it to another language you know, and then compare the result.)

Circa 1973, columnist Stewart Alsop wrote a very smart piece describing many of the Nixon administration figures involved in Watergate as "phony-tough": People who posture as tough guys and fiercely guard a tough image while making sure any actual risk falls on others.
