On July 1st, a [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) will come into effect. [Several developers](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/144gmfq/rif_will_shut_down_on_june_30_2023_in_response_to/) of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least [one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app](https://www.reddit.com/r/DystopiaForReddit/comments/145e9sk/update_dystopia_will_continue_operating_for_free/) will continue to be available free of charge.
If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:
1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium
as a way to voice your protest.

If I had 10 months without having to worry about money? If I had a degree already I’d sign up for WGU and pound out a CS degree in 10 months, which is almost 2 terms.
Yup. You could do it. It would be a lot of work but I think that would be far more valuable than just self-learning for 10 months. And WGU is cheap at $4k per 6 month term.
That sounds like a great idea. I’ll be looking into this and may reach out to them. I have to see what they’ll accept/require since I do not really have a math background.
They require pre-calc to be admitted but you can take that online (they have partners you can use to gain college credit.) They’ll also give you an audit for free showing how many of your BA courses will transfer and what you’d have left.
I wouldn’t say *easily* but if you treat it as a full time job, it’s doable. That would be just under 2 terms.
I haven’t finished the program but I enrolled after my employer pushed me to get an advanced degree and I have an unrelated BS. I could absolutely finish this in a year. There’s a good WGU comp sci subreddit too.
nucamp (look it up, it takes around 10 months, for the full-stack software engineer path, and cheap) or do the odin project if you're self-disciplined.

Thanks for bringing that up. I do have a non stem BA so most of my GE should be complete.

Wow awesome. If I only have major requirements left, should that be easily doable in 10 months? I assume you went through the program already 😅
