Most Americans still think Czechoslovakia still exists and those that don’t confuse Czechs with Russians.

The kind of person who can teach themselves programming but cant go through the motions to get a degree is not exactly the kind of person that most managers want to hire. This may change if a bigger chunk of office workforce work from home going forward.
It’ll take about 2 weeks to start showing up tho since there is 5-6 days before testing positive and what not.

Somebody enters school with the virus, shows obvious symptoms next day, tests positive that day and school closed.
Education minister promised fully open schools during the first wave and that didn’t happen. If they do open it’ll be like the end of last school year with in-person classes optional. Otherwise it’ll all be online.
Oh, well schools here don’t close for one case (prolly not for 20 cases).
They don’t even tell everyone in the classes with the infected kid; only those within 6 feet.
They had an outbreak at a nursery school here in June. Tends to be that by the time you find one, that kid has already infected at least a class worth of students.

I have an operations technology BS which had a ton of CS electives and open electives which I also crammed with programming classes. But none of those classes really taught me much of anything beyond theory. I learned by coding my own shit and by helping maintain legacy systems at work (where my main job was in supply chain and procurement) after we downsized a bunch of times. Once I also got laid off I tried to go into programming full time, but for whatever reason (actually, it was age discrimination) couldn’t land a gig even though I was capable of full stack programming. So now I’m back in operations full time running a global supply chain for a small pharma.
The end.

I snapped at two women in the grocery store for not wearing their masks earlier this week. They both quickly and sheepishly put them on. I routinely say, “A little space please” when people get too close, and they can shove their dirty looks up their asses for all I care. If I see something, I am quite willing to say something.

I agree that it’s dumb to insist somebody has a degree if they can otherwise demonstrate experience and competence. But there are definitely coding gigs that legitimately require advanced knowledge of certain subjects. Particularly coding in the sciences.
And beyond just being able to code, it takes a certain level of intelligence to properly understand and grasp a variety of different subjects quickly, at least for certain gigs. I know some really smart people without formal college educations, but for the most part somebody with a formal education is more likely to have a suitable knowledge base and the smarts to succeed. (And I say this as somebody who had no degree until close to 40 y/o yet held many positions that usually required a degree.)
There is also the “nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM” thing going on as well.
Coding fucking sucks and is the downfall of America
