You could effectively replace the entire CS degree, with better outcomes, by having students spend their four years building a compiler and text editor from scratch

two years instead of four. each 6 month is something like this + a related co-op. first year foundations, second year allows you to specialize in something

Generally agree, but also topics like distributed systems and cryptography make progress due to higher level academia and research

No doubt! I’m sure you could do that for loads of other disciplines as well. Money management, writing, etc

agree!
