I like the first point, consistency. You're not just doing it on school, but you're doing and applying it even after school. If you love something, you're doing it out of passion and you give your best.

Programming is not simple, it has wide scope of ideas, different theories, and languages. 4 years in college school is not enough to master it, but by continuously digging in, you're gaining skills and building expertise.

One point you missed is choosing school. Because some school today is just teaching some sort of irrelevant theories instead of letting student to learn the actual. The teaching method should be aligned on the program, but curriculums are giving irrelevant subjects that need to take.

However, one good thing I love with some school is they change this method. One example is CIIT Philippines, who offer computer science program with specialized subjects to help student maximize their potential in programming.
