"If you're keeping up, you either already had a foundation or you're self-teaching. The actual school is not effective at teaching. People are going outside to get what they need." That sounds like a lot of technical education. More than maybe any other discipline, classes have such a wide curve of expertise, they become almost impossible to teach to everyone at once. On the need for outside study, I guess I've heard similar things about, of all things, tough music schools. You just end up in a race to see who can practice every waking hour. Maybe there's an analogy there. We talk about computer science in terms of concepts and problem solving, but undersell how much muscle memory is involved. There is a ton of training your brain to reflexively handle certain common problems.
