Harsh reality: It will take you 10 years to realize how great our college curriculum is and how critical the core Computer Science subjects are.

Do not get misguided by these "EdTech cum SalesTech" startups and influencers. Everything at scale just boils down to

👇

- Operating system concepts: Mutex, Semaphores, Critical Sections, Thread, Sockets, etc
- Database Internals: Query optimization of Database
- Distributed Systems: Need I say anything here

👇

- Computer Architecture: To understand why vertical scaling has a limit, page faults, cache lines
- Networking: Securing infra, optimizing routing, BGP, CDN, TCP, UDP, etc.
- Multimedia Processing: video encoding, codec conversions, image processing, RTMP, etc

Core CS subjects are more important in the real world. DSA might be there for interviews, but the core CS subjects are mighty critical while at work.

Never neglect them. It will take you a decade to realize ki ya sab to college me hi padha tha.
