[–] firelizzard@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (3 children) Degrees are meaningless, excepting places like CalTech. I’ve known too many ‘programmers’ who had a CS degree yet were damn near useless to think otherwise. Not to mention my own CS degree taught me almost nothing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] FMT99@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] CodeBlooded@programming.dev 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Degrees are meaningless my own CS degree taught me almost nothing I think you meant that your degree was meaningless? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] firelizzard@programming.dev 1 point 2 years ago My entire point is that any CS degree from any university is meaningless unless you know that university's CS program is actually good permalink fedilink source parent [–] valentino@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Seems like you went to a shit university permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] firelizzard@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago I wouldn't say it was a shit university, part of it is that I knew how to write code before I got there. But the CS program wasn't great. My entire point is, if someone has a CS degree from University X and you don't know if that program at that university is any good, the degree is meaningless. If the university's CS program isn't any good, you can't count on the degree meaning anything. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lysdexic@programming.dev 1 point 2 years ago If you're worried about your degree's worth then you are certainly not he right person to talk about going through a shit university. permalink fedilink source parent
