At first I found the article kind of condescending. I was expecting something I didn't know, instead:
>hey self-taught developers, here's all this totally elementary stuff that you probably don't know.
I'm self taught, but I have a very solid computer science foundation because I found that stuff interesting when I was learning. Looking at the other comments here, I guess that's not the default...
- JasonFruit 14y agoWe're in the same happy boat. I think there are probably more in it, too, but a lot of us have stopped thinking of ourselves as self-taught, because we've been working at a higher level for a while. I'd bet that those who are less interested in fundamental topics have shorter lifespans in the profession.
