That an academic degree in computer science is needed for software developers. Worst: that said degree makes one a better developer (or a developer at all, for that matter).
Most CS degrees aren't solely focused on software development. They are rooted in theory, data structures & algorithms (and the mathematics beneath them), and whatever electives are offered by the institution (today a lot of them are AI/Data Science intro courses). In my program, we have two classes where we build big projects, and in the end, there's a capstone project, but I have no idea how developers function in the wild. I feel like a lot of CS students live under a rock (at least I do :D )
Academia is a long lost cause for producing really only two things - academics or good worker bees. Only life can produce educated thoughtful and well-informed people. As one of the comments mentioned Ai and data science, that's what industry wants not what you want. If you're going to waste money on a degree, waste a lot of money and take the classes that you want, then force yourself to do the minimum requirements for the degree but only because it's handy to help you get a job not because it has anything to do with education.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
