Welcome to Steemit! Nice introduction you got there! And wow, you're from the computer technology world like me :) It's so nice to see people here that are on the same field as me. I just wish I was better at the field since I did not pay much attention back in school. LOL I do hope we can be friends here and I can learn a lot of the * "professional computer nerd" * from you! Nice seeing you here on Steemit! btw, followed u and hoping to see computer savvy posts in the future from you :)

I have a Bachelor's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, a Master's degree in Computer Science, and most of what I do code-wise I learned by doing. The academic background helps to structure thoughts, but getting a few hundred thousand lines of code under your belt is more important for learning how to actually produce things than any number of classes are. Just don't get stuck in how your first 100,000 lines worked and think that's how coding "should" be. It's good to have your mental model of how coding "should" work upturned every few years. It keeps the brain flexible.
