Just to confirm that I understand this correctly, that clear case is really 3D printed? I don't follow 3D printing too closely, but I did not think that something like this would be possible.

Lovely quote.
I lived down the block from that NYU makerspace and walked my dog past it every day. I'm also a self-taught dev who's wanted to go back to college and get a degree for posterity. So naturally applying to NYU made sense, get started on the education stuff I was putting off, get access to a really cool makerspace, etc. I talked to someone from admissions at the school, learned more about the process, but then we got to…
Just make side projects.
Or spend a bit more , go to UC Berkeley and you can attend one of the best CS schools in the world. Just live in California for a year to get residency first
> Another thing I learned about myself: I kinda like being old. I recently turned 41 and sure, my back hurts all the time and I’m going grey, but I have enough experience and domain knowledge at this point that picking up CAD and PCB design over the summer isn’t that big a deal. It feels nice to reap the rewards of all of my experience. Lovely quote.

I did not think so either, although, SLA is the one method I'd guess, if I had to, just going by the main picture. SLA is indeed the process they used, but what really surprised me was that it's offered as a 3D printing service from JLPCB and PCBWay.

What's the point of this, you can easily go to cheaper school and pay about 10K a year. Software Engineering is a fields where you don't even need a degree to be honest. I know at least 2 colleagues who make much more than me without degrees. Just make side projects. Or spend a bit more , go to UC Berkeley and you can attend one of the best CS schools in the world.

In my most recent position I got an offer before the recruiter found out I didn't have a degree: We were making small talk waiting for someone to join the call and they offhandedly asked where I went to school... I didn't.

So with that in mind, how are they justifying their value over those cheaper (or free) options? With an expensive makerspace? Pedigree? (as you point out there are cheaper schools of a similar calibre)
To me it doesn't add up and something has to give at some point. I've long felt that if we get student loan relief, it must come with tightening the purse strings on the tuition side by downsizing how much the government is willing to finance per student.
The schools are using the money for everything from vanity projects to real-estate plays, that needs to stop.

I've been on the fence about getting one. This post might be the thing that pushes me over the edge.
HN readers: what SLA printers do you recommend?
