@aengel @Dmx Virtually everything I know regarding computers/programming/technology I taught myself. About all I learned my from CS degree were finite automata and basic data structures.

In 1985 I got a job programming statistics curriculum on the Mac. In the interview, I said I didn’t know how to program a Mac but I was sure I could learn. Of course, pretty much no one except for Apple employees knew how, so that wasn’t as much of an obstacle as it appeared.
