As opposed to being taught by someone else, who will most likely have gotten the same information you'll get either way.

A true computer scientist doesn't use programming languages

Feels good man.
There's no thing as 'self-taught' though. Nobody learns to program without help from the Internet these days.
But while you guys were playing runescape, I was trying to create my own version of runescape.

Turns out that this was the best endeavor of my life. Now I'm semi-balling OP. But technology is supposed to be a meritocracy, so why you mad OP?

Whats so bad about us self taught / boot camp taught folk?

How do you think the people who teach programming learned programming?

My nigga. Java and massive libraries helped me to learn the scale of large programs when I was but a mere 10 years old. I give thanks to the community every day that set me on my current path desu.

Here's your (you) f@m

Runescape was written by a 17-year-old autist.
What exactly are you bragging about here?

i never got to work on firmware development when i was starting out. nobody was willing to invest thousands of euros on burned hardware just to teach developers to check their shit (besides the big cooperations and i bet even they had training programs to avoid it).

i had to teach my self that skillset because my education just wasn't up to snuff and i wanted to do hardware/firmware. software was easy in comparison because you couldn't destroy shit horribly.

i started with flashing cameras, camcorders, feature phone etc. and that got me going until it landed me a job in that feeld.

i just use/write software these days though.

lately the only thing i used that skill for was installing coreboot (not libre, just core) on a thinkpad and thankfully i am done with that.

certain thinks have to be self thought because nobody will be willing to make an investment in you. certain things (like C/C++) should be teached by classese and experienced mentors though. they are not intuitive and you will learn them horribly wrong if you just learn the language without a fundamental understanding of what you are doing to the machine.

Not everyone learned "these days".

Self taught programmers kick the asses of 99.5% of CS majors
