I was exposed to new sources of information throughout the program, such as Youtube videos, books, and lots of papers on computer science topics. Being required to read all that upped my ability to absorb and comprehend them. So now I feel I can go back to, say, my algorithms books and do a much deeper dive into topics not covered in depth. Or go follow up with some of the tools, like Korat or Dafny, and learn more about their internals and applications.

I honestly don't expect it to open any additional doors for me. I'm a software developer with 30 years experience and have been working for the same company for nearly 18 years. I wasn't looking for any changes, I just wanted to be better at what I did.

Thanks for the congratulations. It was quite difficult at times, took a lot of effort, but was totally worth it, IMHO.
