The Path to Self-Taught Programming

Self-taught programming has become a dominant force in the tech world, with countless individuals such as myself venturing into the coding landscape without the constraints of formal education. While traditional programming courses may offer a structured learning environment, many times, these courses can be limited in scope and relevance. In my case, the superficial programming arc I experienced in a high school computing course was a mere taste of what's to come. I learned about a language called Turing, which, as it stands, is barely being used anywhere beyond a few local environments. At the end of the day, it’s just a matter of acceptance that some languages may not be widely used or universally appreciated. No one should be bitter about it; it's simply reflecting the current state of the market.

The Only Two Types of Programmers: Constant Learners or the Unemployed

The tech industry is dynamic and ever-evolving, making it essential for programmers to be continuously learning. As some experts have pointed out, there are essentially only two types of programmers: those who are always teaching themselves new skills and the unemployed. Formal qualifications such as a degree are often not enough; without a commitment to ongoing education and a proactive approach to acquiring new knowledge, one can easily find themselves out of work or behind the curve.
