You grounded my fantasy. :(

I thought self-learning CS can be a good way to democratize wealth. You only need a laptop (even Chromebook is fine), internet connection, self-determination, raw intelligence and living cost covered to be able to master CS. But apparently most people are not able to do that. Maybe less than 1% of population can do this kind of thing. Or maybe not.

Maybe they did something wrong and it's still possible. Hard to say. The difficult piece to solve is how to get people to power through when they're frustrated and confused. That probably takes more than money.
