Lol 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.
