Good call out on (2). The credential itself is more important to me than I initially thought. I did a full-time MBA at a young age and have always regretted not doing a technical master's.

I appreciate the thoughts on self-motivation and demonstrable projects. I'm already doing this, although I find myself wanting to learn too many things, which can cause me to lose focus. The structure helps here. I'm familiar with initiatives like the Open Source Society University, but I am not interested as it's nice to do these classes with other folks.

The program would be the Stanford Honors Cooperative Program or something similar where there isn't an oversized part-time/remote cohort.
