| schestowitz[TR3] | @ph There are far better ways to learn about AI, quantum computing, or any other tech subject than IBM's courses. Non-IBM online courses, even a book and free downloadable software, are much better alternatives. The only reason to waste time on an IBM course is to fulfill your Stink40. Those IBM badges are as useful as the sheriff badge I carried as a kid. But if you like pretending you're the deputy, go for it. | Apr 08 18:55 |
