A Space to come across comics of all types.
I started learning by reading code, and that's still the most effective means.
I'm also much older than YouTube, so that never entered the equation for me. Sounds awful, though, what with not being able to directly copy examples, though that's how it used to be with books and magazines ...
some high school, some college, some mentors, some of the K&R book, some the camel book.
i was too early to have gotten youtube in the mix and i gave up on coding some years ago
I first started coding at 10, college definitely leveled me up to "proficient." I never really used YouTube before college, so I guess in my case, I have to say this comic is inaccurate. But maybe mostly because I'm old.
There are two kinds of programmers in this world: the shitty kind who got into it for the money, and the kind whose childhood idea of fun was stuff like making a turtle draw spirographs or writing games on their graphing calculator instead of paying attention to the math teacher explaining something for the fifteenth time.
Never went to uni, so yeah.
