Ruby on Rails developer - Maker of ✨ things on the Internet. O(🐌^n) kind of guy. Alumni @lewagonparis (batch 145). Builds wooden furniture on his balcony.
I didn't even become a professional developer until my mid-30's
🙌
I never feel like coding just for coding's sake
🙌
I'm also a foul-mouth person who laughs too loud for any open space to be bearable.
And recently I've been getting a feeling that there is beginning to be more sentiment against more academic backgrounds in general in software development.
I guess the backlash comes from the prejudice against non-academic backgrounds that has been prevailing these past few years. In France, a lot of recruiters still look for prestigious schools on a resume. EIther of these prejudices is just stupid, imo. 😄
Thanks for this post @vorahsa
