It's small consolation if sitting in a classroom is something you truly hate, but the guys who are programming pros before they go into a CS program are very often the ones who do really well and get the most out of it.

- immibis 10mo agoDid you already understand complexity theory (the most obvious example of this phenomenon) by the time you went to an actual school? Tinkering is great but (good) school teaches you all the things and not just the things you obviously, and then you don't have any knowledge gaps. Any fool can probably weld metal but how do you learn to do it properly if you don't learn properly?
