You'd be surprised how many people go to uni for this shit, finish, and can not do what you are doing now.
I takes a certain kind of thinking to start from scratch and build a program. Most people could not do it.
Additionally, it takes focus.
People who struggle to focus on single problems, or to sit down to think, can't do it either. I think this is the main ability: sit down to code for a long time.
Thinking you are behind the curve because you don't know some algorithms and theory... In times of AI? You'd catch up within 1 year.
That all being said, programming as a career is ass.
Solving problems and focusing to find a solution is what makes me love programing! I love thinking on how I can solve, or improve, something: for me the challenge of finding a solution, trying to think outside the box, is the most satisfying part of programing.
And talking about that, recently I was planning to give a (re)read at some of your posts, to see if I have acquired some of the skills need to better understand them :)
My issue is that I already to a job which I don't like... so I can't help but ask myself how would be to do something different... and at least programing looks as something I may like doing even as a job (even if this might not be true, lol, as I have only a very vague idea on what a programer do!).
Could be my fault.
If you continue the Python path and try building more things for web, the shit I wrote will make sense (I hope).
Have you encountered callback functions, yet?
It's that but... for real Gs.
I guess I jumped a few steps too far ahead...
