15 year software engineer college dropout here, college/uni is a waste of time. literally the first few years you will just be going through all the stuff you learned on your own in a few months as the rest of the class, who are just there because they had to pick a course, stubles through

lol confirmation bias
Wow your CS curriculum was shit. Best to check program rankings, I guess. Maybe you were right that it would've been a waste of time for you.

I cannot believe that the first two years of an educational course would have you study entry level subjects. It's inconceivable.

To follow up on this user's post, choose OpenBSD. Its man documentation is phenomenal and if you use pledge and unveil it'll help you learn to write software with security in mind. Don't touch the poo, stay away from GNU. Documentation is at best all over the place, at worst non-existent.
Andrew Green
no, you should learn to think first study logic and mathematics and formally spec the algorithms you will write , as it promotes a coherent base code that can be expressed in any regular language afterwards. otherwise, like most devs, be a nigger monkey shitting away on a keyboard

I have found GNU to have really good and extensive documentation. You just have to know where to look for it: not the manpages, but the Info documents. Don't use man bash, use info bash, and you will have a book-sized manual.
You do know it's possible to do things in parallel, right? Learn a bit of logic, tinker a bit on the terminal, learn a bit more, tinker a bit more, and so on. Focusing only on one or the other is just going into one or the other extreme case.

if sicp is too difficult a good alternative would be HTDP
