Having gone through all of these course myself, I'm wondering if this stuff is really relevant to today's workforce? Compiler Design? How to build an Operating System? I remember in a job writing my own BNF grammer and a a parser for it to optimize something or other and I got back basically "WTF" on the code review. I would say database fundamentals is a must, so is networking. But honestly the rest is iffy. When wa…

I think ML should be included mostly just the fundamentals to understand what's happening, and to give an accurate radar to students for spotting bullshit.
It's essentially "where to go from here and beyond" (by course)

Was quite turned off by the “two kinds of people” assertion, broken down by understanding of CS. There are still holes in my understanding, surely, and I fill them in where I can so I can feel like a true Scotsman, but I’ve never had trouble dropping down abstraction levels when I need to, and even 10 levels down I’m still not close to logic gates etc.
As far as I can tell the computer always tells you what’s wrong if you can follow the breadcrumbs.
Has anyone here learned a subject by going through one of these "teach yourself" lists? I've learned most of what I know about computers on my own, but it wasn't from following a list of textbooks. And when I've tried to follow a course like this for other subjects, despite my initial interest, I've found myself unable to make it through more than a couple chapters of the first textbook before running out of steam. B…
Can anyone with a CS undergrad from an elite US college (Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, Carnegie Mellon) comment on whether they feel their undergrad covered 100-200 hours worth of these subjects? As someone with an Australian CS degree, I feel like my curriculum covered less than half of this properly.
Ha - super ironic that this would be atop HN today. I've recently decided to dive back into this journey as well. Anyway - I was watching the final lecture of David J. Malans CS50 course yesterday and found this awesome slide he shared. I screengrabbed it and now I share it with all of you.
