I am all for learning by doing and being young doesn't mean that you can't be a very capable programmer. You don't necessarily need a degree and some of the best programmers I know have skipped schools and went directly into the work life. So please believe me when I say that your method of working is not wrong. I do however find the blog post a bit silly, because I'm pretty sceptical if you actually know what you talk about. I'm currently not even 30 and I've gone through two burnouts and I promise you that the issue isn't with not walking around the office every once in a while. I seriously doubt that you have experienced a burnout especially considering that you're not really even alle to bill for customer work due to your age. Same goes for working with a team and resolving conflicts. The way you talk about the issues make it very clear that you do not have any real world experience in those matters. I don't want to be dismissive and I know that this sounds likenit though. It's alright to write about your thoughts on issues, but you also need to realize that due to your age and lack of experience, you're not really in a place to give anyone advice on the matters. So to be brutal, I don't think you should've posted this as in my opinion it shows immaturity on your part which invalidates a lot of what you're writing about. It's a long road you've got ahead of yourself and I hope you find the introspection within to see what I'm trying to convey. Good luck!
