You don't need a degree to be a computer scientist.
Hope we can destroy that myth going into 2026.

I went to university but clearly remember spending nights teaching myself stuff that I enjoyed (and failing modules because of it because it took up my time).
There was maybe one course, on compilers that I really enjoyed, but everything else was maybe a little bit "eh". The networking course was underwhelming, I knew everything before taking it and it never taught anything practical IN networking either.
It's hard for me to give an unbiased view but I partially have seen "both worlds", but now I get to see how others have done without it.
