  • Chicken and egg. The tuitions have been able to reach the insane heights due to the ready availability of these loans.

    It was a lot harder to get loans thirty years ago. Almost on par with the criteria for any other personal loan. A four year CompSci degree that could be had for under $25K, in total, opened the door to a $45K to $60K entry level position for a typical graduate.

    Availability of loans broke wide open, under the guise of providing opportunity, and now the same degree costs 5-10x with yet the typical entry level salary remains more or less the same, give or take a few inflation points.













  • A key factor is LINUX has been available for ARM since nearly “the beginning”. Unlike Windows, which was basically Intel only for well over a decade, LINUX has had strong support for multiple architectures throughout its lifecycle. As a result, software that grew up within that ecosystem tended to be more agnostic in design which helps porting efforts.
