Software Development is a pursuit done in solitude majority of time. A lot discovery is done by oneself while working on your own ideas. Yes, it does propel ones career when you do your work with others, or on a team. However, the learning process really comes down to the individual.

The encouragement from friends even in passing acknowledgement I wouldn't discredit. You have to take the support you can get no matter how small it is
