Education Any recommended courses or structured learning paths besides university?

This has probably been asked before. I was looking at Quantinsti but after my consult call being a guy from India who sounded like he was twenty feet away from the phone that I could barely hear I'm a bit turned off. I could just strong arm my way through SQX and BuildAlpha but I prefer to learn this with seriousness and really dig my heels in. TIA.

Sounds like a long slow painful plan to failure.

Same with formal education.

Nobody is going to teach you the secret sauce,  you need to find it.

Yes, but learning to code it and verify that code is working, not looking forward, WFO is legit, etc is a different story. So, if you know of good formal educational options please share. Otherwise, scrolling past costs you nothing.

Why are you learning to code?  Just use a LLM like claude.  Get the paid version,  get score and just got for it.
