I’m a software engineer. There’s people on my team that went to Yale for computer science. There’s also people on my team that took a six month coding boot camp. They’re both great at their jobs.
It's bullshit and we both know it. Don't pretend that following an existing protocol for building bridges safely is so hard and requires education that I can't get in 6 months.
It's not like engineers are allowed to do whatever they want, they have rules to follow, none of which will be told to them in university because universities are worthless.
