Why is a 21yo developer in a school to begin with?
Americans call uni "school"
Not American here, but isn't any structured organisation providing what is essentially a schooling service considered a school? Asking genuinely
I suppose technically yes, but not in normal conversation (in Britain at least). It's not like it's completely nonsensical, but to us school is primary and secondary education, higher education is university; they're distinctly different things and saying "gets kicked out of school" would be way less ambiguous.
I see, thanks, I didn't know that!
That makes sense, thank you
I'd imagine that you graduate high school at 18 and choose to go to college for the next 4, meaning you graduate as a 22-year old. Add or subtract a year for birthdays that align oddly with the academic year.
No no, why didn't you graduate in 3 years? Do you even want to get that second interview?
If you graduated in 5 years, don't even bother submitting an application unless your github looks like mine.

Could you explain the gap in june on your github? /s
Time well spent wanking
Apologies, i cannot divulge that information as per the NDA i signed at the time.

My NDA 😭
I went back to school at 32yo. Best decision ever.
In much of the world "school" does not refer to higher education. Unless you meant that you went back to your high school at 32.
Edit: looks at negative score Did I need some emojis or some shit to make it clear that I was taking the piss? Back to "school" with you lot.
And yet you know damned well what they meant, otherwise you wouldn’t have responded with the “well akshually” type of comment.
Context inferrence
I didn't make the initial comment and I would have thought it was pretty bloody obvious I was making a joke with my second sentence. I was trying to make the explanation less dry, but thanks for the hostility. Reminds me of fuckin' Reddit.
uh, why not?
