The whole thing just seems like a massive scam created by colleges/universities and endorsed by employers as a form of coping with the fact they wasted money on college/university and you should too 😂

I don’t even get why CS degrees exist in the first place… It’s not like the text books, computers, or programming languages are walled off or difficult to get. I really wish companies would stop putting so much weight on papers and start focusing more on actual competency.

California needs to start pushing laws to shut down hardware stores, department stores, shopping malls, and office supply stores since you can buy things in those places to also create makeshift weapons.
I dunno, I went to college and the first thing they did was give me the book list… Felt like sitting down to a game of poker and buddy across the table just shows their whole hand 😂
Obviously in school you’d have the benefit of a teacher to assist you when you need help understanding things, but you could potentially also get that through message forums and the like.
Sure not everybody has the drive for self study, and I’m sure some topics get much more complex in university… But college at least felt like a total waste of my time and money. Just wish I knew at the time that employers would care so much about a piece of paper instead of making people prove their skills instead lol
