I taught myself to code by post/mail. I didn't make the smartest choices when I was young(er), but I turned that around, found a career, ended up co-founding a company and making a cool game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nethernet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nethernet) then started a new company to help people figure out wtf they can do with their lives (https://www.somewhere.com https://www.somewhere.com). Saying that though, the stupid robots I built, the side-projects and the articles in Hack Circus mean just as much. Of course, pride comes before a fall so, yeah, cheers.... ;)
