42 Seoul, a campus of 42 [1] (which started as École 42 in Paris), has announced that they'll close this September.
During the COVID period, I've been taking computer science classes at university remotely while working on 42's assignments in person at 42 Seoul. (Yeah, that was quite intense!)
What I learned there wasn't knowledge itself, but how to approach problems I had never once thought about before, through discussions with peers. That learning process contributed greatly to my growth as an engineer in my early twenties (fun fact, hyeyoo is the nickname 42 gave me!).
These days, sadly, it feels like there are more and more people giving up on logical thinking (AI isn't going to replace logical thinking and problem solving skills, at least in the near future :/)
It's quite sad that 42 Seoul, a school that cultivated the ability to learn and think, and approach challenging problems, is closing its doors due to practical reasons.
