College vs Industry Experience | Did My University Degree Fail Me?
Friday Dec 04, 2020
Friday Dec 04, 2020
College did not prepare me to be a software developer like I thought it would! I still think my college degree was valuable, but a self-taught developer can be just as effective as a college educated one. There are also many skills and tricks you learn from working at a job or an internship that you don't learn at a university. Like, are Big O notation or asymptotic analysis of algorithms something that's used a lot in the field, or just terms people use to sound smart? I'll get to the real stuff in this episode and tell you exactly what you should focus on as you learn how to be a software engineer.
