Looking back over the decades in my career, only a handful of the really standout people that I've worked with had CS degrees. Most common were music degrees or being self-taught.
I understand how people recruiting are filtering for degrees, but I think outside of true entry-level positions it's completely silly to do so.
- rvnx 2y agoThere is this thing also: when you have a project or a passion, you don't waste 4 or 5 years for a degree, when you already spent everyday during 5 years learning these skills. Many talented people just skip the school and go straight to work (for themselves or others). The courses also are usually outdated. Learn AI by yourself with the videos of Karpathy and you will know state-of-the-art. Follow courses from your local university, and you will learn the perceptron and OCaml.
