- sh_tinh_hair 10y agoAs an autodidact I will only note that you can learn at pace (given intelligence and aptitude) only so long as you give it 110%. That extra 10% wears on you. Eventually you will not be able to keep up. The old saying is 'learn from others mistakes'; being self taught leaves you open to not understanding others mistakes and learning a lot from your own. Time++.
