A mix of feeling I’m “missing” some CS concepts and just general intellectual curiosity.
I am planning on doing a masters but I need some undergrad CS credits to be a qualified candidate. I don’t think I’m going to do the whole undergrad.
Overall my experience has been positive. I’ve really enjoyed Discrete Math and coming to understand how I’ve been using set theory without really understanding it for years. I’m really looking forward to my classes on assembly/computer architecture, operating systems, and networks. They did make me take CS 101-102 as prereqs which was a total waste of time and money, but I think those are the only two mandatory classes with no value to me.
Computer architecture and operating systems are really important classes imo. Maybe you dont touch the material again in your career but do you really want the thing you're supposed to be programming to be a black box? Personally I'm not ok working with black boxes.
as I am also thinking mildly about doing masters cause I want to break into ai research, I am curious what your motivations are, if you would be open to share those.
