My abridged professional background:
- Full stack developer for ~2yrs
- >30yrs old
- No college degree
- 13 week full stack bootcamp
My thoughts/opinion:
I absolutely love what we do. I love the seemingly endless depths of new things to learn. I worked closely with a recent 4 year CS degree grad on my team these past 2 years. I have learned so much from him it has truly made me appreciate the foundational knowledge a CS degrees provides. It's certainly not the end all be all, but I feel like it's a pretty good foundation to build your (house of cards)[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31277158 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31277158]
Financially, I doubt it makes sense factoring cost and time you're not working as a dev. But, if you really do enjoy learning about and writing code, and you have the time and money, I would highly encourage taking that time now for a CS degree and enjoying it!
