Almost all of the programmers, coders and internet guys I have worked with or know have not studied computer science at university.
Almost all of them have the same interest, passion and enthusiasm as you have. Studying computer science won't get you as far as that.
Plus because they have varied backgrounds, they can bring additional colour, learning and stories.
- terminalcommand 11y agoI wish you could experience how much this reassurance meant for me. Living an isolated hacker life can lead to harmful presumptions such as me thinking that I had to give up my dream of continuing to work with computers 'cause I couldn't study it at a Uni. Now I realize how unreasonable and childish that was. Nevertheless, this very idea caused a depressive episode for more than a year. I am leaving this comment here because I know that there are other hackers out there struggling with the same problem as me. The solution to it can be as brief as the few sentences in your comment. I am sure that I will bring additional colour, learning and stories to the hacker community. Thank you again.
