If I had read this seven years ago, there’s a non-zero chance I’d now be a developer with six years of professional experience instead of a developer with a CS degree and three years of professional experience. I’m honestly not sure which one would be better (I suspect the former, but credentialism is a thing) but especially for those who aren’t going to get a Bachelor’s anyway for whatever reason, this sounds like fantastic advice.
In the event that this post becomes wildly successful and you become overwhelmed with people asking for your help with solving programming problems, I am happy to take some overflow.
