Hey Pato, you made great points here and I wanted to reiterate a few of them.
1) I started at a private college here in the US, but ended up leaving and finishing my degree at a technical institute. In no way has that influenced my career in any way.
8-9) Yes. I have done plenty of interviews and I feel like I know the person across from me during the conversation when I have already read through their code examples and sample projects. Get your code out there. I don't care if it's just the step by step example from a udemy course or a simple start.spring.io/ shell that you strapped a few lombok controllers on top of. Let me see it all.
12-13) Totally agree. If during the interview process I can't tell that you're into learning and developing, you're not getting a call back. I don't care if you know the exact stack we use, because if you're clever and willing to dig in, you'll figure it out.
