Arithmetic Expression Compiler

I do. It wasn’t long ago that you were asking people here if you should drop out if school because you were doing poorly. I simply think that if you devoted more time and energy to school, you’d do better and have a better chance at a better job.

Just my opinion.

And what makes you think an employer is more likely to value a diploma more than being able to build a compiler targeting WebAssembly and x86? Some employers will probably value one over the other, some other employers vice versa. I am not saying I know for certain most employers would value somebody being able to build a compiler more than somebody having a diploma, but I also see no reason to think otherwise.

But if you can build a compiler AND you have a diploma, you’ll have a much better chance at securing a position. And (probably) for better pay than you would without the diploma.

Imagine you need heart surgery. Would you prefer a surgeon who had been to and graduated from medical school, or a surgeon who was self-taught?

As Angrboda said, people - particularly employers - like those pieces of paper.
