Scott Young completed the four-year MIT computer science degree curriculum in less than one year. This is a post about how he did it.
During the yearlong pursuit, I perfected a method for peeling those layers of deep understanding faster. I’ve since used it on topics in math, biology, physics, economics and engineering. With just a few modifications, it also works well for practical skills such as programming, design or languages.
Note that, in practice, the point at which crunch time begins depends on your estimate of how long it will take you to learn the stuff you haven't learned yet. Depending on my courseload, it would be as long as a month or as short as two weeks.
