Echoing this sentiment of: Motivated real world exposure > real world exposure > motivated self education > traditional education As someone who mindlessly "self taught" through tutorials, then did half a bootcamp, then did a MSCS-- none of those things were anywhere near as transformational for me as a dev than my first year as a software engineer. But of course, building AlgoDaily has probably taught me even more than the many years of work at this point, purely because there's been a strong impetus. The "need to know" basis is huge. I think with a strong enough "need to know", any method works.
