I am now going to cry in a corner. I wonder what proportion of successful programmers are self-taught? Just a hunch...

Give me a self taught programmer any day. I've taught programming at both under-grad and post-grad level, and you can tell by the end of the first class who can be good programmers and who will never quite get it. It's not about brains, although that makes it easier for some. It's about whether or not you are actually interested. Learning to be a programmer has much more in common with something like learning to play guitar than with something like being an administrator or a manager. Anyone can learn the chords, but to go to the next level you have to have the desire/compulsion to pick up the guitar on evening and weekends just because you enjoy it. And the dedication to pick up the guitar to learn something new even when you don't enjoy it. -Rd

Yeah, still can't get over the copypasta 'programmers'.
