I started at 16 and I'm 34. Went from working on gaming websites to running giant ERP backends for mobile apps, web apps, and api users in high throughput environments.

All I need to get to work is VSCode and some linux VM or container. PHP has an obnoxious amount of depth. You can become an expert on just ORMs or just SSO or just Collections or just routing and still be learning something new everyday. I am actually "self tought". Whatever that means.




> I am actually "self tought". Whatever that means.

What does that mean? I know what taught means, but tought? No idea.


A charitable interpretation would be that he meant "self-taught". It's not that difficult.
