You are literally here coping right now by making up fantasies about me, so that you can then try to put me down for it.
Even in this post you pretend to know what I've done or what I do. How many public interviews do you give in an average month?
I don't need to put other people down to try and elevate myself.
You put people down with degrees because proclaiming you're self-taught, dumbass.
"I regularly outperform people with degrees." Based on what metric? Based on interviews you give? Why the frick would anyone care about that? People within 3 years of professional experience can give interviews, it's not some impressive feat.
You must've forgotten in your "self-taught programming" that ts/js can be used in backend development too. So much for being a big, bad full-stack developer.
You should look up what coping means.

I think it logically follows if,
* You have a finite amount of time to teach a concept
* You have a finite pool of professors of varying abilities to teach the concepts
* You have an ultimate goal or aim to educate the individual for maximum positive impact (empower the student with the understanding and mastery of concepts to carry forward into the world via career or otherwise)
Then,
*You want students who already understand the base case and can be out of the box ready to learn the concepts and get to higher order thinking of concepts to really internalize and learn them
*You want the best professors you can get to teach at your school and you do so by providing them students who aren't needing to be taught the most fundamental of things or who have demonstrated the ability to learn foreign fundamental concepts quickly
*You want kids who will be educated, in a timely manner (4 years, 5 years whatever), and will be recruited into a career or go on of their own ambition into a career or mission that will represent themselves well and thus the university well.
This to me means you necessarily want to start with the highest caliber students you can get, with the best teachers you can get, to optimize for speed the highest and best impact you can achieve.
It's no different than how schools look at football. You want the best ranked recruits because their learning curve and speed to positive impact for the team is shorter, and coaches want to coach up good players who can make an impact.

100% false. What I said was in most professions you can learn the same things by picking up a book. The biggest factor in education isn't the school, it's the student and the students desire to learn. You'll all talking about acceptance rates and things as a sign of how good the education is when anyone who has a real desire to learn can learn at any of them. I got to where I am because I spent MANY hours learning, aka I put in the time and effort to learn.

Ok, so how many interviews do you give in an average month? You were the one putting me down, I'm just letting you know you are wrong.

You can, but I wouldn't. I'm not a big fan of Javascript.

what does how many interviews you give on average in a month have to do with anything? there is literally no relevance.

Lmao.
Most good businessmen who leave a business behind to the kids end up with their kids selling the business and living off the millions.
It is just the way it usually goes down.
Sold to the highest bidder....kiddos retire at 40.

How has an academic thread lasted 8 pages on an SEC forum?
Good grief, read the room.

It shows an interest in the things I do/have done, which are obviously not related to web development. You think there is maybe a reason for that? If it's so common, then how often do you get asked to do interviews?
It's not really a big deal, I usually do them for free. So it's not like I'm getting paid big time speaker money or anything. But you are the one that decided to put me down as a lesser programmer and claimed to know my accomplishments.

Ole Miss lol.

How did State get to be more selective than Ole Miss?
Does Ole Miss not have Engineering degrees?

Texas - 29%
Texas' includes top 5% hs graduate auto admit. So, depends on the program too, because you can get into UT Austin and not get into any majors you want to get into.
The acceptance rate for those that are not auto-admit grads is like 11%.

100% acceptance rate for hot chicks... I remember 2 of the volleyball players becoming professional models after graduation
Posted on 10/14/25 at 1:01 pm to Tropicofcapricorn
At Ole Miss it’s nearly a 100% acceptance rate for everyone, pal.

No one is impressed by a degree from an SEC school with the exception of Vandy. Low bar.

College is what you make of it. The owner of the Houston Astros went to Central Missouri. A D2 school by KC. You can be successful with or without college or by going to a less prestigious school. I love the snobs that brag about attending a prestigious school when in reality it doesn’t matter that much.

Universities in Mississippi don't set admission standards - that's set by the state itself.
Which was set by a Judge because it couldn’t be higher than the State’s HBCUs.

They aren’t being more selective. If you took a minute to actually read the first page you would understand this.
