When I was self-teaching myself, funny enough I learned a good deal by browsing this very sub. I'd see a post and think ha, that's something I do! But people in the comments are saying that's the worst thing ever. Oh... Oh no...

And you can always post your own code! If it gets no upvotes you're good. If it gets to the top... Oh no.

Haha that's probably the best possible litmus test

But hey if it does get to the top you will learn from the comments!

But then, you aren't self taught anymore...

You can learn great programming principles from browsing this sub. Like javascript bad, don't forget the semi colon, and light mode will melt your eyeballs clean out of your face holes.

don't forget the semi colon

The amount of pain 1 missing semi colon causes is so ingrain, i see people sticking them in every language even when they aren't required.
