Other than being a huge generalization, it's kind of a moot point. "Hey self-taught developer, here's some things you don't know because you're self taught" "

"Hey self-taught developer, here's some things you don't know because you're self taught"
"Great, I'm going to go teach myself these things now."
It's very liberating to not have to ask permission to learn valuable skills.
- dromidas 14y agoLol while you're very correct dave, and describes exactly what I did as well, I think the main article is supposed to be just a self-reflection article written primarily to help himself clarify and understand what he went through but written in a way so that it can also provide useful advice for people in his somewhat uncommon situation. There isn't a lot of advice flying around out there about the transition from self-taught to hired in production scenario. But then again, when I did it I had no information to go off of and I did just fine because of my self-taught nature as I was able to assimilate all of the new information incredibly fast.
