I was thinking of doing a github project involving the techs I want to get proficient at, thats a no brainer, my question is should I work on getting certs? What about a masters?
I already built a comp sci curriculum based on a few masters programs that intrest me but a lot of people in meatspace advise me against a masters despite the fact that I've seen a few job postings that treat it as YoE.
What do? Validate me or spit, you choice.
