Self taught means you didn't go to school for it... How complicated is that lol

[@kierandonnelly9178]

They think there saying something groundbreaking

This hurts my brain… self-taught just means the person took the time to learn themselves rather than going to school for it.

[@Tee-ic9vc]

I understand what they're going for though tbh. I think the conversation should be made to attribute more credit to community. i know a lot of peers who say they're "self-taught" and have egos the size of a soccer field. maybe if they took on this kind of mentality of "community driven", they'd be more humble 🤷‍♀️

[@OpenSauced]

Please no footballer egos in open source.

[@Tshego2000]

@@Tee-ic9vc but technically thats way to general because it aplyies to everything including learning how to walk, there is literally no such thing as learning a skill without taking input from anyone or anything else.

Some ppl are dooshbags

[@bryce3851]

Lol, she didnt had no support for her arguement

[@jonathanlee8976]

Very literal take on the idea.

[@zaeolus6942]

Wow, a very groundbreaking take on an abstractive english term. The randomness.

[@linkstarwarscrazy]

Says “self taught” is a myth and then proceeds to describe the literal definition of self taught. Did you think people meant they were learning by absorbing radio frequencies directly into their brain? 😂

[@OpenSauced]

Yes

[@babblebey]

I guess being self-directed is the reason why it's called self-taught right!? 🤔
Different from being taught by an instructor in a Bootcamp. 🙂

[@OpenSauced]

Correct. Self taught or directed is learning from others just no official structure

[@andrewphelps9716]

Self directed IS self taught.
I can just stop and slack off at any time, no one HOLDS ME ACCOUNTABLE
Therefore I am SELF taught
To learn is to be disciplined

[@OpenSauced]

Well said

[@chriztianhusher8401]

Um i thought self-taught meant you taught yourself through othwr sources other than school

[@johnagustin1851]

Shouldn't it be self-studied?

[@ytdl]

You are wasting time arguing over semantics... you know what self-taught actually means

[@daliOtter]

Who taught the very first programmer to program?

[@OpenSauced]

Perhaps the AI generated it and programming so it could discovered in this century.

[@JohnCodes]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@sarthakbhardwaj3333]

So like you want people to discover it themselves

[@cosmicmarco]

Its just a use of the word. Maybe a better term would be self learned programmer

[@Adrian_Marmy]

Potahto-Potato 😎

[@Mason6an]

Or do it the old fashion way. Trail and error

[@gauravverma9269]

Actually i am learning from sources like udemy and freecodecamp , and i am greatfull for that ,, can never say i am self taught 😅
