Yes, that seems to be what they are aiming for exactly.
I’m gonna look into this. I was originally going to use the curses gem for my ruby tui apps but dealing with straight curses gets annoying quick. Thanks!
I'm a senior engineer and have no degree. I never get offended by people making comments like this. If we're both in similar roles, making quality contributions, and are progressing in our careers, the only difference between us is, I didn't spending 50k-100k on a degree.
Sounds more like a knock on the person making the comment than it is on me.
I fit the same criteria. I think college is probably a wholesome experience, but I don't really know, as I only went for two years and didn't really get much out of it.
I had a few major issues with the experience:
One: It was force-fed to you in High School, it almost seemed like there was no other choice at the time, and it was far too easy to go into massive debt at such a young age.
Two: I was already self-taught in computer science, and the coursework didn't really expand upon my knowledge any.
Three: The bureaucracy was insane, having to deal with Student Aid, registration, and signing up for classes. It was nauseating.
Four: While there were some interesting classes in other domains of knowledge, the fact that there were so many required courses, like Writing and "English Composition." Kind of soured the experience. I didn't learn anything in the Comp Sci classes, and probably 60% of the other stuff I wasn't interested in. As an Adult who's paying tuition, you should be able to 100% pick and choose what courses you want to take, but because I was only 19 and fresh out of high school, that liberty didn't really dawn on me until after I had finally left.
I went to a community college. I assume a four-year school or something more academic by nature would be interesting, but not worthy of hiring one person over another strictly on credentials.
A family friend was a Discalced Carmelite nun, ergo a member of a cloistered community. She later, we heard, became a hermit. I imagine that she had quarters of her own on the convent property, but I don't know.
I am not sure how common it is nowadays, but a more recent example of an Anchoress is Nazarena of Jesus. Born in 1907, she joined the Camaldolese in the 40s and lived as a recluse until her death in 1990.
