Now, it occurs to me, wouldn't someone like Knuth be self-taught? He's an alright programmer, I think.
Knuth had a lot better teacher than Rodney, the one I spoke of in the original post.
I shouldn't have used "self-taught". "Unlearned" would be more accurate.

Speaking from self-taught experience, we're not all that bad. That's down-right horrible in fact, heh.
I didn't mean to speak against all self-taught developers.
(fixed the spacing I hope)
A quote from a self-taught developer:
-----------------------
Another example is.... Sometimes I write for hours uninterrupted. I don't even stop to compile the code (another bad practice)... When I finally stop writing and compile for errors... by this time, I've written massive routines... untested under RunTime and untested as a regular user. Some of these routines branch off into MANY logical branches.... some of which may never be tested in the final product because the branches are such that they'd be rarely encountered.
