I highly doubt that any online service has an order of magnitude better performance than a uni.

  I think for specific new techs pluralsight will beat a university. Univerity are not going to teach you how to use d3.js

    This is essentially the "Computer Science vs. Programming" debate, although Uni gives some programming experience and Pluralsight gives some computer science. Yevgeniy Brikman maintains a great blog and wrote about this[1].

  Unis lack professors with the practical knowledge of Pluralsight instructors and they are centered on areas like math and algorithms, that are fun, but not of much use for somebody building an enterprise CRUD site or mobile app. Knowing your IDE, the best way to accomplish a task in a given framework, how to work around limitations of tools and protocols IMHO is something unis don't teach much, while very important for the average Joe developer.

  Define "a uni." I think the parent argument is very flawed because he is comparing a specific entity to universities (which varies in quality really a LOT)
