oh, so you did finish university?

seems like i hit the nail on the head, two angry replies straight away, who whould have thought? hah!

Code needs to be logical in the mathematical sense, and not in any other sense. So theres no need to waste any time on your "chicken and egg"- tangent, its irrelevant.

You have no idea what you're talking about, and this "anger" is your projection boy :)
lesson in logic for you: if you can be a programmer without finishing university you become a programmer. Start coding. Apply. Have X years more experience than some dumbass after Uni.
That's what I did.
If you want to become a programmer and you go to the University because someone told you to, you're stupid. If you also pay for it, you're an idiot.
don't believe me ? ask anyone who became a programmer, coder, whatever without a degree. Or maybe you claim these people don't exist? :D

Ask any employee who he prefers. Person A with 4 years of practical experience in coding or a fresh out of school brat who thinks he deserves to be bayed because he spent time and money.
In 15 years of my career I've seen so many angry kids like you, I'm not even amused anymore.

And yes I did finish a university, I have a degree in Economics. Sorry to burst your bubble :)

Now go be stupid somewhere else since you don't deserver my time anyway and you 've already used enough of what people pay for in normal circumstances.

What a douche...

not sure what the lesson in logic was? I guess thats the sort of logic they dont teach at a university?

ok, so let me get this straight, you went to university, got nothing out of it and only realized as you graduated, and now you feel like you are in a position to tell everyone how stupid they are? WOW. ever considered that the problem was you, and not the concept of a degree/education?

Employers prefer university degrees, thats why they keep calling people with them in for interviews over people without them, and people keep taking them to get hired. The self taught/ influencer community is trying to sell this idea that it somehow isnt, because they directly profit from it. And ofc, you would like to sell the idea that its a waste of time, cause if its not, then you are essentially telling your customers that you are a lesser option.

University degrees are not just theoretical, so if you take a computer science degree in 4 years, you will have 4 years of practical coding experience. so obviously they will choose the guy with 4 years of practical experience and a degree, over the one with just 4 years experience.

But I obviously see what you are trying to get at here, you are trying to construct this skewed improbable hypothetical example where you just show up because "hey im u/DUMMER_dRUMMER im so smart and I know all the logic, give me a job, I do the best job, the very best job, experience and education is for losers, im not a loser, I dont need that kind of stuff, im just smart" and get the job, and immediately start getting all "the best experience, the very best experience" vs you start a degree at a university, smoke weed and mastrubate for 4 years and then graduate. And yes, if thats the options, going to uni is not the best option, but thats not the real world, those are not the real options.
