Depends on your needs. A good CS undergrad is still very valuable, and for me a good structure, peers and context in which I just have to learn this help a lot, so I might’ve gone for a top CS uni or something. Besides you meet so many talented people.

Interactive online platforms are amazing nowadays so I would definitely try Datacamp to explore the basics and feel it out, maybe even stick with it if I’d see I can make a decent progress on my own.

And definitely would jump in the amazing online communities that are out there, make fun projects alongside others and so on.

I’d explore my bootcamp options too. If I’d see something like launchshool for DS, I would go for that :)
