Discovered a treasure: the OSSU project on Github with 196K stars, which has gathered open CS courses from prestigious schools like Harvard, MIT, and Princeton. It covers everything from programming to algorithms to systems security.

The project team says: Study 20 hours per week and complete a comprehensive undergraduate CS curriculum in 2 years. The Discord community is available for Q&A anytime, all courses are free, and if you really need financial support, you can apply for scholarships.

I'm thinking this is basically the ultimate version of "powering through passion," right?

What does 20 hours per week mean? It's like you have a regular 9-to-5 job, then come home and work a second "shift." Weekends? They don't exist—keep studying.

So who actually completes it? Either financially independent early retirees, or students with tons of free time to burn, or those legendary "I can do it" grinders.

24K people forked this project, but I'd guess the proportion that actually completes it...is probably about the same as the gym membership usage rate😂
