I think for anyone that started programming in the early days of home computers like the ZX81, C64 and BBC Micro, except for the fundamentals, most CS courses seemed to be completely useless. I cannot honestly say anything I learned in my course was useful compared to pursuing my own interests.
- convolvatron 7y agoI missed undergrad, and managed to weasel my way into graduate school after 15 years as a programmer. ultimately research isn't for me, but I found basic CS theory both interesting and useful in my later life. certainly agree that the systems and programming coursework wasn't particularly useful.
