It reminded me how much of a time waste formal education can feel. How come we can learn things on our own 10 times faster IF the motivation clicks in

It’s so weird tbh that at some unis they learn things in a year what you can get to know in a week if you don’t follow the slug pace plan and adhd hyperfocus kicks in

Please, teach me in a week how to write my own compiler and under what conditions re-compilation converges.

Sorry, I don’t know what’s a for loop or what’s a set, I only know how to do 2+2 in excel.

Go.

They sure love them some Java. It'd be nice if they focused more on C/C++/Rust, you know, actual bare metal system languages that make you think about memory management.

Not a bad list. Off the top of my head, I would say it is missing two things:

  1. Discrete Math (formal logic, sets, probability, etc)
  2. Theory of Computing (not just algorithms, but things like Turing machines, NFAs, DFAs, etc.). These may not be strictly the most practical courses, but I think a Computer Science degree would be incomplete without these.

The “Introduction to Operating Systems” link no longer works (redirects to “Autonomous Systems” courses). Instead, I would recommend using Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces, which is the textbook I use in my OS course.

Finally, something like The Missing Semester of Your CS Education would also be a nice extra.
