> What you wrote suggested that one can only attain a moderate capability without in-person mentoring from experts. Like I said, it's hard to frame "you don't have this life experience yet" in any other way. I did use these words: > this will only take you from absolute noob to moderately competent junior ...in reference to learning stuff online. I stand by that, because even if you are fully remote for your entire career, you're going to need some level of mentoring to level up. That's just a fact. Reductio ad absurdum: suggesting that you can become John Carmack or Jeff Dean by reading Stack Overflow. But I also explicitly put an edit on the end of it where I disclaim the generalization you're making -- before you made your comment.
