What...is with that UI? Between the cut-off titles and the mouseover image spinning, I left in less than 10 seconds. Here's a better, non-seizure inducing list: https://github.com/mvillaloboz/open-source-cs-degree

There is also this : https://learn-anything.xyz/computer-science

If you're into mind maps.

Yet another curriculum, basic org-mode page that focuses on functional/parallel and verification https://functionalcs.github.io/curriculum/

Then my favorite essay of programming is this ;) http://norvig.com/21-days.html A list of courses is not enough, haha

True you are no programming god after these videos and courses, but neither are people with a cs bachelor degree. But then again they only had like 3-4 years ;).

>A list of courses is not enough, haha

Norvig's essay is an all time classic, but I'm not sure how it applies here. There's a difference between thinking a single book is going to teach one to be a professional developer and thinking a BS-equivalent set of online courses and the hundreds if not thousands of hours of work it would take to complete them might teach someone something about computer science.

Many great developers are self-taught. Having resources like recordings of university lectures from some of the best schools in the country just makes the long, difficult journey a bit easier.

This is a pretty poor platform to point you to edx/coursera courses. Try this one...much better. https://github.com/ossu/computer-science

As far as I can see all the courses are free. So there is no damage or profit in pointing people there, is it?

Why does it have to be about "damage?" The poor design of a disorganized resource wastes time and hides value.

Imagine a world where not everyone likes or responds the same to design, where people have different opinions about what is good or "poor" design, and not every interaction needs to be optimized for "value."

In that world, I imagine people would be free to criticize designs they don't like and provide alternatives.
