Awesome blog.

I was 13 in 2010, and trying to stuff secondary school maths and science into my head. Every time I see a cool computer graphics-related blog post, it's by someone younger and way more talented than me.
I feel extremely inadequate; my inner voice immediately went to something I can't really publicly say in case I get a dozen help-lines in response.
- anonymoushn 2y agoIt's not over for you, I self-taught some niche skills in the last couple years that some bigco apparently wants to pay for. I'm 35ish. Of course, I don't have any advice about how to do this, because I did it by really liking the thing and doing it all the time. But presumably some sort of structured practice would work too.
