Schooling for programming isn’t super necessary. Programming, at it’s core, is not super difficult. It’s effectively learning how to structure fundamental logic in a way to do what you want and then figure how to do that with the programming language you are using. There are various free resources online to get started.

Once you’ve learned some fundamentals, you can start some random practice project and figure out how to expand it to challenge yourself and learn from practice.

A lot of programming is also experience driven. As you code, you learn better approaches, new capabilities within your programming language, best practices, etc. Looking back at code from when I was first starting, I often find multiple potential improvements in the way I did it at the time.

My senior dev was asked for his transcript and he’s been in the field for 25+years. He told them to get in touch with his college that doesn’t exist anymore. Suspect it’s a standard set of forms they need to fill.

There are similar groups with near identical solutions for tackling “problem” River that are some of the worst offenders of plastic pollution.

Ultimately there is still a problem in the ocean, and to some extent, it is inevitable until we have a realistic solution for plastics.

Though, he’s got small hands so what could he possibly do? /s
