You're right, I made the mistake of assumptions that I based off my own experience. I'm a poor immigrant from Colombia and spent most of my childhood at libraries since my parents had to work but I was very lucky to have so many resources at my library and parent's encouragement that others may not have had. I still want to encourage others to make the most of what they have, if they have the ability to, but how could I improve the message without belittling others?
- cortesoft 5y agoI think talking about some of the attributes you have that let this work for you might be valuable. Maybe talk about the aspects of your personality that let this work for you, or the type of support your family gave (or didn't) give you. Maybe you can talk about how this sort of approach could work for non-programming stuff. I think you might be overestimating how many people are self-starters like you.
