Yeah, I found my CS classes in college largely useless too. The early ones were too easy, there were a few in the middle I found pretty useful, and then the latter ones were useless again. My school had a mandatory co-op program though that got me money while I was in school and a job directly after, so I think it was a net positive in the end.
And yeah, Javascript definitely sucks too. Was trying to convey that there’s no magic bullet and every language has it’s issues, although that’s kind of obvious and I think you already knew that. After 8 years programming professionally that’s the platitude I’ve come up with!
