I've teached myself coding in the 80s in a department store on a Vic20 by watching other kids in order to write my own video games (I played video games on an Atari 2600). Wrote some games then joined the Amstrad CPC and later Amiga Demo scenes and wrote some demo code. Then joined a startup (and got basically a MsC in CS on the side, but that didn't help). Teached myself 20+ programming languages (myself = experiment + reading books) by writing code. Most of my learning to code happend pre-Internet. (currently learning Go by creating a job website)
