Wow, excellent guide! And I love the E2EE example.

Nice work on this!

I love it! Can't wait to try it out.

Thanks so much! Extremely helpful. I'll update the article.

Great feedback, thanks!

11 weeks over 5 years is quite doable.

Wow, thanks! That does look really good. I don't like "Extension", but otherwise it seems solid. The price tag sounds like they consider it a valuable commodity.

I don't think that's true. I have seen job descriptions for Director or VP that require a master's degree in CS.

I hadn't, no. It looks like a great way to get a quick update on undergraduate CS.

It doesn't meet my requirement of having a real master's degree from an accredited university without the "extension" or "electronic" qualifier, though.

I'm doing the Algorithms specialisation from Stanford on Coursera right now, just to make sure I'm ready to get started on a master's in the fall.

Fair enough. I had an older model of the GRE in mind, when there were only 1 or 2 in-person test sessions per year, so taking the GRE in spring 2022 would mean I couldn't start classes until fall 2023.

It looks like the GRE is now available online, 24/7/365, so I could probably study and take it in the next month or two. There were a cluster of Fall 2022 application deadlines at the beginning of May, but if I decide to apply for Spring 2022, a GRE might be worthwhile to give my application package a boost.

Thanks for the note!

NACE showed a 46.9% salary premium for a CS master's over a bachelor's.

Also, after a career in startups, I am looking for work in bigger, more conservative organisations. So those are the places I want to work.

Thanks! UT is one of the schools I applied to, so this is kind of a disappointment. Do you notice it getting better, worse, or staying about the same?

I'm very interested in filling in gaps in my CS self-education. But, yes, I do like convenience and cake.

I added a note about pay, but I'll say it here too: NACE did a survey in 2021 that showed a 46.9% starting salary differential for holders of a master's in CS over those with a bachelor's.

If you've got some data to the contrary, please feel free to share it.

Thanks! I'll look into the program at Auburn.

Thanks for this! It's extremely helpful and motivating. Congratulations on your achievement!

Good luck! I saw a few master's programs that had a specialisation or focus on information security, but that might not be hardcore enough for you.

Thank you!

So, one of my criteria is a credentialed master's degree at the university, available 100% remote. I don't see a master's degree in CS or software engineering on their site. Also, it seems like the degrees they do give are from "Harvard Extension", which is also something I don't want.

Good luck in your studies!

Maybe not more interesting to you, but possibly more interesting to me!

Thanks! I was looking for a program at Oxford. USN&WR has it at #11 worldwide for CS.

The SE program at Oxford doesn't seem to be available for 100% remote study, though. Am I missing something? I love this informal, friendly Web site, and I might be looking in the wrong places.

Hi! author here.

I've seen requirements for a master's in CS or related disciplines on job descriptions for technical leadership roles, mostly at larger, older, more conservative organisations.

My work experience gets me roles as director of eng, vp eng or CTO at most startups, but for the national rail company here in Canada, I have a hard time getting considered for any jobs.

Thanks, very helpful!

Hey, that's amazing! I think that having an AP server that stores data in IPFS is really cool. Where did the idea come from?

That's probably a fair consideration. I and others worked on an intermediate system called pump.io, and the ActivityPub interface is very similar to the pump.io client-to-server API and federation protocol.

The biggest advantages of ActivityPub over OStatus are: JSON instead of Atom XML; a defined client-to-server API; and private distribution, including to contact lists (like Diaspora's aspects).

As someone who has worked on this type of standard for over a decade, I can say that it's the best federation standard I've ever seen, and I've seen them all.

It is neither go-to or trusted but it is one of the best places on the Web.

Pretty impressive feat!

This is me. I do love it.

We've been testing for months in Montreal, but Breather just opened in the US with our first spaces in New York City. Users reserve the rooms for private use on their phones with an iOS or Web app, pay with a credit card, then unlock the door with a unique code. Rooms rent by the hour for work, rest, or meetings.
