Well, all I can say is: We have some very junior programmers on the team, who are managing pretty well. (Hmmm, it would totally be cool to "visit" VCMI and see

  I think it's depend on where you stand. I do have plenty of useful skills and expertise in many areas, but when it comes to C++ development it's likely that I'm nowhere close to "very junior programmer" with proper education. Might be I'll try to get a job in future and will know for sure, but at moment I feel best I could hope for is some QA position. And a lot of open source contributors are like that especially when it's come to games since there no one to pay for development. There are number of games that have very skilled people on team (VCMI has @alexvins), but usually they started with very basic things and learned along the way. As our project originator who still around, but no longer contributes said: when programmer get good enough he get a job and no longer have time for contributing. :-) Another thing even is that gap in education quality is huge around the world. We have many people from Poland since H3 is very popular there and sadly even after computer science course their knowledges are much worse than mine and skill of practical development is none. Disclaimer: I don't have any education and situation usually much worse in Russia where I live.
