I think yes, in general, it would be a good option. While I think on-the-job problem solving combined with community participation is the best route towards growth, you can only go so far with this.
I'd love to someday take a full-on break from the rat race and enroll in some kind of educational environment. When I was younger, I really did not take well to the classroom, but I feel like I'd enjoy giving it another shot, now that I've had time to reflect.
Depending on your needs, the options for continuing education might not be great for you. For me, I'd benefit from even a basic CS immersive because I went down a much more practical path, but for others I'm not sure the options are really there. I would expect this to change, though, in the next decade or so.
Possibly not exactly "continued education" specifically, but programs like Recurse are pretty cool.
Hi my name is Omar, I’m a software engineer that specializes in creating great front end experiences, primarily using react. When I’m not engineering I like to game and make music.
Thanks for your thoughts Ben. I felt like I got a decent CS exposure in undergrad, but could see myself wanting to go back for something thats even deeper into the science side of CS potentially, if I took a more traditional route anyway. But like I said, i'm still not sure if a graduate degree will really be what I want, though I'm only 23 so I supposed I've got time to figure it out.
Also I had never heard of Recurse, sounds super cool thanks for brining it to my attention.
