ok? If I have an entry-level offer in-hand 6 months from now and I’m behind a few textbooks, I think I can manage. Sorry to break it to you, but a lot can be done if you’re healthy and avoid distractions.
I understand your concern about not gaining implicit knowledge while surrounded by peers, but I’ve gained “the ability to think” through my other course of study, and your concerns don’t seem to be attached to a solution. Rather, it seems like a desperate attempt to gatekeep over an increasingly egalitarian field. And sorry, but there isn’t much communication to be learned among CS undergrads.
The knowledge I lack on the job will be taught as I’m exposed to my shortcomings, as is the case with most jobs.
In addition, my school’s CS department was lacking, so most of it was poorly taught, and I relied on self-teaching regardless. Once I get through hiring season, I’ll worry about covering the remaining material before I begin work.
I’d love to go through all of them, but I’m constrained with work as well, so I’ll have to prioritize.

How can you be reassured that the outsourcers won’t steal your idea?
This is interesting and sounds like it could be applied to game plugins in general.
