So is the self-taught hackers day over? That’s how I started out back in the mid-90s. I knew some theory and was quick on the up take and by five years was a star performer and never had a problem finding a well paying job. I’m a life time learner and always enjoyed new challenge

Definitely not over at all but no one can give those people advice on how to succeed in the industry. People can share examples, find mentors and role models, but you should see it all as motivation and not a direct path.
