    Y’all went to shitty schools and or think far you highly of your skills.

    My professors were hands on and extremely helpful. There is not a chance in hell I’d have figured out algorithms efficiency or some of the absolute dumbest parts of bash without their help.

      You’re describing one class. There is no way this is how your basics went. Or even like the rest of your CS classes.

      Agreed. Sure there were some freshman level courses that were pretty basic and lectures that were skippable. But all of the Junior and Senior level courses were much more challenging and I really needed to understand everything for science lab work to not just be a pile of burnt crap. There were also the exams that were so hard they let us have open textbooks, just studying alone at home wouldn’t have gotten through those exams.

      First college i went to was unbearably shit. The graduate programs (elsewhere, thank the gods) i loved because the students actually wanted to be in those classes and treated their professors better.
