I'm upvoting this because the article is interesting, but the title is a bit off.
I'm upvoting this because the article is interesting, but the title is a bit off. The given title (which is the title of the blog post) is somewhat misleading. The person knew basic CS and had had two semesters in college of it, but felt they learned at a faster pace in Hack Reactor. Nor does this necessarily show that college is "broken" (a subject certainly worthy of consideration and debate) though it does make it clear that the blogger seems to feel this works better for them, and suggest some interesting ways of teaching. Giving people a problem before giving them the classic solution, and having them work out the naive approach themselves has much to suggest itself. In interviews and work, you don't necessarily know the best solution, or even what the program is. This may give people a better sense of the problem space for programming.
