My advice is more general and not just related to self taught techs. What keeps me from Quitting is the alternative. That gives me nightmare. In my case, running my own company is what I want to do and it is DAMN hard. There are days when I am like "WTF am i doing" BUT what keeps me from quitting is the alternative. For me, the alternative would be to work in a corporate job where I feel empty even though I could make decent money. So here is what you should do when you feel like quitting. Close your eyes and imagine doing the alternative. If that gives you nightmares, you know the answer. If that doesn't give you nightmares and the alternative starts making sense, it probably is time to quit. Remember it is ok to quit sometimes but you better quit in return for something worth quitting for. Keep fighting the good fight.
