I have the say, I cannot relate to any of this.
Most of the best developers I've met are self-taught. You really don't need formal study, even to learn CS concepts... you can learn it all yourself
Agreed. Pretty much none of those things are taught in University or College.
I think self taught developers are the best. Our profession requires constant update to our knowledge. This ability is core to a good programmer. Self taught developers are generally better at refreshing their knowledge.
Sure i agree with you
believe those are extra ordinary and few self-taught developers. Its only a small percentage that dive deeper to get the core concept of computing. But i do agree.
For each of these points you could just as easily find an argument why those with formal CS education are at a disadvantage over self-taught developers. For example:
I'm not saying the above is true for all CS graduates; it's just to demonstrate the point. Both formally educated and self-taught devs bring different skills to the table. I get the impression that nowadays there's a focus on hiring people who have a formal education; but I think it's really important to hire from a diverse range of backgrounds: the result will be a flexible team with a broad range of skills who can find more creative solutions.
Thanks for your idea @ben Calder
Thanks for making it clear
Are you been serious
Am not really sure🤗
Sure @luke
Hey Thanks for reading🙄🙄🤣

Every is what you said. I didn't use that word. By definition self taught developers know how to learn on their own. So they tend to be better at that.
