Read the post and the comment made by prof ben, who is a professor in NUS. Essentially, he believes that despite the abundance of online learning material available, it takes an incredible amount of hardwork and aptitude to actually make it in CS.

Ignore prof ben, he's a prof for a reason. If he goes out and work, he cannot make it. He can only teach, and at best teach basic stuff.

Listening advice from him is like listening advice from a monkey. Monkey may give better advice

That may be true but I'm still much more inclined to believe the words of a professor who has students in actual top companies, over some random guy on the internet with no credentials

The student who managed to land roles in top companies is attributable to their OWN efforts over the 4 years studying there, not because of one useless prof who spends his day giving shitty advice in NUS whipsers.

Yeah top student. Big deal.

Still don't earn more than our own secret lab founders.
Or salted egg fish skin brothers.

Grade doesn't earn you good money.
Being successful in business does.

Richest Singaporean is some hot pot right?
Not some comp science slave who is bound to work like slave.

Yeah top students got brains to ace exam only.
But no brain to create a tech product that has value.

Example like discord is just a very simple concept. They build it. Make it popular.
Now Microsoft want to buy it. Billions.

The founder will become millionaires.

That's the tech dream. But non of Singaporean top talent has this skill.
Just slave for company that's all
