It’s amusing to me how this article ended. It really discredits much of the author’s opinion. I’m a self taught software developer that went back to school to learn the engineering aspects of what I’m doing. Boot camps and online tutorials like what the author appears to be selling teach you how to do a task. Higher education teaches you how to think, learn, and communicate at a higher level. Do you learn how to build a React app? No. But anyone can go learn that on any of the thousands of websites that promise to turn you into a computer scientist in 6 weeks. I fully enjoyed my experience in grad school, and wouldn’t trade it for anything. It might not have been the deciding factor in getting a job, but it sure as hell made me more confident.
