Met some of the kids of the first cohort doing the dev degree as I majored in CS at Carleton U. It was right before an exam. It seemed to me that most of them were just gaming the tests the best they could because they had absolutely no time in between working & their course load.

Obviously this thing was an experiment, so I'm sure they're going to reevaluate based on the feedback. Also, this was an anecdote of only meeting them once. I did not see them in any classes because I wasn't going to any (was working full time). Their insane load hardened them for sure.

>20 hours a week for 3 course load

20 hours a week with 3 CS courses at carleton? If you're going solo dolo on everything it's much more time than that
