I can also look up and learn quantum mechanics at khan academy: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/quantum-physics https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/quantum-physics Sure it's feasible to look up facts here and there, but it's harder to grasp the underlying meaning and generalize it when rushing to check in code for a job, compared to having dedicated and structured time set aside. Anecdotally, I started coding intensely in middle school and thought I was pretty bad ass by the I time entered college. Was blown away at how little I knew about what I didn't know. Gave up hubris at that point.
