Education vs Training?
summary
Compares long university education (foundational base and mindset) with short paid or free intensive courses that aim to deliver job skills. Gives concrete measurements: paid half‑year courses demand about 15–40 hours/week; free cohorts actively filter out non‑attenders; a public lecture series lost engagement from 150 to 50 listeners; and several people with unrelated diplomas entered jobs after intensive courses or self‑study using Raspberry Pi, Arduino and JavaScript. Tests whether Belarusian CS degrees are helpful, whether short tracks lead to hires, and in which situations a diploma matters.
