>CS brianlets still don't understand the hate
CS is good knowledge to have like learning a foreign language. It's just stupid to go to university to get that knowledge when it's faster and better to just learn it on your own. Not to mention that most universities (especially all american ones) have terrible CS programs.

>inB4 hurr durr i know a "self taught" guy that can barely fizzbuzz in java
And weeaboos say they know Japanese because they know what baka means. Doesn't prove it's impossible to learn Japanese without majoring in it. You have to put in the time to learn the [math]voluminous[/math] material but none of it is particularly [math]dense[/math] so it's easy.

>inB4 but muh jerbs
You can get translator jobs by proving you can speak a language and you can get software eng jobs by proving you know your shit. Make a github and code up your own compiler, micro OS, stock trader, etc and you won't have any problems getting job offers.

>inB4 but i find proof by induction hard so nobody can learn it without taking a year of discrete maths and they will still kinda suck at it afterwards like all muh classmates. You're all memeing/russian trolling/fake newing if you say absurd lies that it's easy!!!!11 you be all jelly of muh 100k starting!!!

>should I go to uni for CS

No, cs degrees are slow as fuck and geared for brainlets. Just study out of textbooks

>But is the only good thing cs can offer me is how to program
No course or training program can teach you how to program. All they can do is introduce you to the basics. It's up to you to go out and improve your skills by working on stuff and learning from it and exploring better ways of doing it.
>or does it really have other things that I can´t easily learn in other places
It doesn't. You can learn everything in a cs major on your own in a quarter of the time it take to get a degree.

>And they're often shit unless they study supplementary CS material or have a lot of experience to make up for their lack of CS knowledge
Duh. You're not saying anything not obvious.

>>9452178
Physics majors don't take programming. To program they have to learn. That PhD clearly just looked up a list of instructions and put no more time into it. It doesn't mean that PhDs are incapable of learning CS or find it hard; they just never put the time in it.

Physics, biology; chemistry, electrical engineering, whatever you have. I like collecting infographics.

If you know how to program and practice, yes.

>inB4 hurr durr the only way to learn coding is courses

CS is a waste of tuition money. Study it on your own and avoid being slowed down by brainlet CS majors.

CS is a waste of tuition money. Learn it own your own.

Why do you need a coding boot camp? Just learn to code on your own and save your money.

>>9264944
>and study outside of class

Or better yet, don't waste your time and money with slow as fuck classes and learn it all on your own.

Very easily

Was hoping this thread would have some actual content so I'll add my 2-cents

>exercise

Personally, I'd recommend not just jogging, but you make sure that you do an exercise that requires you to learn engrams (while increasing cardio)

This is mostly anecdotal evidence, but I feel like when you're doing a cardio while learning skill sets its simultaneously working the brain while giving fuel to it (and will get easier of time)

Some examples of these sports

Rock-climbing/swimming/skateboard/bmx/martial arts (most of them do this) parkour/calisthenics

While I can point to any studies, I can say from the perspective of body fluidity/intelligence transitioning from one sport to another is much easier than most of my peers, I personally believe it's due to doing a variety of different sports while critically thinking about my movement.

Just as a reference, I'd say I'm slightly above average intelligence, have a math undergrad degree, and play a number of instruments.

My issues mainly would be consistent motivation intellectually, I'm a jack-of-all-trades but I get easily distracted (though I pick up these things very fast)

TLDR; Do lots of different shit
