"Online education used to be like online dating: only something losers would do. But now it seems to moving towards the default way of doing business."

As a self-taught developer and proud of it, I like this quote. A lot. It's easy to let yourself fall into a toxic mindset where you (and many employers) unjustifiably feel inferior because you didn't take the traditional 4-year college route.

But in less than a decade, hearing of couples who met on Tinder has gone from a novelty to the norm, reminding us of how quickly societal paradigm shifts can happen (for the better, imo).

Only fools with zero foresight ever said anything like that. These days I would think less of a person paying $20,000 tuition per year over the person who did all the same work online for free.
