Pretty brilliant idea: "Imposter Handbook", for teaching self-taught devs what they missed by not doing a CS degree https://t.co/wnY8cjoKQH

Kinda feel like my CS degree is equivalent to 3~6 months of professional experience with Rails plus a writing class and 2 hours on Big O.

I mean half of my CS credit hours were learning Java, and not Java as it is actually spoken, but Java as CS textbooks think is important.

Well, OK, in 3~6 months with Rails you'll have interacted with a database and probably also done Javascript, so you'd be ahead of my degree.
