Also, thank you for sharing. Since I am attempting to become a self-taught programmer at 33 years old, I feel like I need to not only focus on my programming skills, but also on making sure that these separate side skills, such as being an effective communicator and being able to empathize with clients really shine. When I do get out there and start applying for jobs, I feel like I will certainly need to be able to stand out from the young programmers with CS degrees. So, once again, I very much appreciate your input.
