Though it belabored a few points I thought the article was well written and from an angle that most of us don’t tend to think much about.
I went to CSUSM and only felt it was inferior for about a year. I got a much better education in CS than my counterparts who went to UCSD. I had to accept that while I was bright I wasn’t going to an elite school very early on, like 9th grade. I always felt grades were important, but not so important that I wanted to kill myself to get good ones. I was never able to quantify that feeling that I didn’t want to study and take extra curricular activities just to get into a better school. Possibly I just wansn’t mature enough, but maybe I will be some day.
