As someone who never went to college: one thing I know I’m missing is knowing patterns and the commensurate pattern matching. What you describe perfectly illustrates this. Knowing what are effectively standard tools, best approaches to known challenges, and what’s truly novel is something almost no one without a formal education can do. You’ll hear protests to the contrary but it’s just a fact.
- lazide 1y agoOne common problem I’ve seen with people with a lot of formal education (conversely) is difficulty handling situations outside of the norm or that are truly novel.
- WalterBright 1y agoI call those people "formula-pluggers". If they cannot find a formula, they are dead in the water. That wasn't the kind of education I received.
