  1. What do you feel you are hampered or limited by, either artificially or legitimately.
  2. I have great fear about the unknown. Whenever I have an idea I worry that someone else has already had it and proven that it won't work. Consequently I spend a lot of time researching my field and try to convince myself that my ideas are good.
  3. Do you align yourself more with being an autodidact or non-autodidact.
  4. Autodidact without a doubt. I dropped out of college to work in the industry.
  5. How has that alignment effected you professionally.
  6. It is mixed. On the one hand I am (to use the new buzz word) agile when it comes to tools, methods, and ideas. On the other I don't have the benefit of the thousands of developers who went before me so I am likely to stumble into the same mistakes they made. Not having a degree has also hurt me since the market down turn. More and more places want a degree and are not willing to settle for experience.
  7. Did you at some point (semi)realign yourself for personal/financial improvement?
  8. I haven't had to yet, and I don't see having to in the future. I do plan on going back to college, but that won't (I hope) affect my nature.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
