> You can learn […] on your own from home Sure, yes you can. Statistically speaking how many people actually do this for several years while being focused on other things? I know there are some, absolutely, but I’ve met lots of people with and without CS degrees. It’s pretty clear to me that on average, the ones with degrees are better prepared for programming jobs than the ones who dabbled. I would say it’s also clear that a small minority of self-taught people are even better prepared for jobs than the majority of degree holders. And the best programmers I’ve ever known do a metric ton of both academics and self-schooling, because they devour it in all possible ways. > Any interview pipeline asking you dynamic programming problems has a broken process. So the question is: what is the right process? Are you saying the interview should not ask any algorithm questions?
