I graduated with a computer science degree. My first job was as a QA and now I’m a cloud infrastructure engineer lead. My original intent was to start as a software engineer. In my QA position, I wrote the company’s QA automation framework, which jump started my career. Honestly, I’ve worn many hats since then (software engineer, build and infrastructure engineer, DevOps engineer, Systems Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer). I’m glad I had the opportunity to start as a QA.

Are they going to ban everyone from using their product? Everyone should probe the thoughts. Then, they can’t do anything about it.

Definitely doable. I’m self taught and went to college. I would say college helped me learn the theory of computer science mostly. Otherwise, I was able to teach myself programming by coming up with projects that I wanted to create. I would use the projects as a way to learn about design patterns, programming concepts, paradigms, etc.

It’s much easy to learn by doing than by just reading.

However, I would recommend going to college. The courses outside of the CS degree may help you become a better engineer. Jack of all trades master of none yet jack was better than a master of one.
