The video says it all. The gap between what we learn in class vs. what we need in the office is MASSIVE.

I learned this the hard way: Degrees get you to the interview door. Skills are what get you the chair inside.

If you are a student right now, stop waiting for the curriculum to update. It won't catch up fast enough.

Here is the survival kit they didn't hand you with your diploma:

1️⃣ Logic > Syntax: Languages change, problem-solving doesn't. 2️⃣ Building > Memorizing: A ugly project on GitHub is worth more than a memorized definition. 3️⃣ Communication > Code: If you can't explain it, you didn't solve it.

Don't just be a student. Be a builder. 🛠️
