I hope my first reply didn’t come off as defensive - I did not mean for it to. I think I actually agree with you to a large degree.

I agree that most bootcamps/YouTube courses are probably not enough by themselves, in most cases.

I switched careers in my late 30s. So, I had over 20 years at the hobbyist level to build on. Also, law school definitely taught me how to teach myself things. For me, YouTube and Udemy were a big help to fill in gaps and help organize things I had been learning in a more piecemeal way over the years.

But you’re right - it’s so important to continue learning things after entering the profession. I have made a lot of efforts to try to do that, including going back and learning concepts I have been told are part of most CS degree programs.

So, I’m trying!
