Good for you. Still doesn't invalidate what I said.
No, it isn't.
You're completely wrong on that.
College is useful for meeting people, is it not? To say that you can learn computer science outside of college doesn't mean college isn't worth it. Maybe you're jaded since you're probably drowning in debt from undergrad and a master's and a PhD, but so far my undergrad experience has been great. I've studied abroad and met tons of people and worked on websites and apps with cool people I never would have met otherwise. Can't do that with man pages or Youtube tutorials. Sure, there's Meetup or Craiglist, but they kind of suck by comparison.
>>23How are data formats not related to programming? Ever made a Node backend? Express and Mongoose and JSON schema and all that. That actually is programming. The way you structure your data affects how you program shit.
Programming is more than just opening an IDE and writing some gay Lisp code. Programming is changing, gramps.
