I appreciate you saying that, and I’m not saying that self-taught developers can’t be effective. But my experience has been like home schooled people. In rare cases you can’t tell until the person tells you, but for the most part they are obvious in a bad way and are oblivious to it and there really isn’t an in between. At the end of the day though self-taught or not the worst are people who feel that their learning is over.
I think that’s partially “I can spot toupees” logic
