Self taught web app dev here. Most EEs and CS folks have told me not to study it. They said it’s not necessary. That it takes too much time and money given the fact that I’m already a “software engineer” with a few years of experience. That said, I could see how it’s useful for filling knowledge gaps & a signaling credential for being a technical leader (ie CTO). Still, many courses in CS seem irrelevant to what I do. Though again—- it’s cool knowledge to learn. I just don’t deal with networks, typed/compiled languages, assembly, and certain other fields in my work. If I did study those areas though it would open more doors to me & I’d be able to work on more complex projects (such as web apps involving network work). These days, now that I understand server admin & programming, I want to learn electrical circuitry, in order to safely control motors, ICs, and machines, via programming. EE degree necessary here? No, look at at Lucky Palmer. However some courses would be useful. And if I want to be an upper level technical executive I think I’d do well to get a CS or EE degree (depending on my goal of whichever industry) Just my two cents.
