> the constant push we get to finish and the fact that we enrolled in a class and in school and have to finish...not having elite level self-control Especially for the slightly more esoteric things relating to programming, like the mathematical underpinnings, principles of programming languages, pushdown automata, big O notation for algorithms, somewhat complex tree data structures etc. On your own, with things coming up in the real world, the temptation would be to always learn more about the latest Javascript framework and what have you. I had a class where I had to do a homework where I described the Completely Fair Scheduler of Linux and how it works. With self-study, there never would have been a night that I would have seen that as being a priority over other things, but being as it was needed for class, I found the time to learn how the CFS worked.
