I read through the other thread; and I understand why it might seem that this AMA doesn't really add much value. I'm not an expert in things that I do, so I don't have much technical expertise to offer. However, I do feel that my academic and career experiences offer a unique perspective into the different journeys of programmers; just getting to this academic stage has been a struggle, as people are quick to assume that I don't have what it takes. I'm sorry for the discourse that's happened because of this!

Hi Mikol,
I don't think you did anything wrong, so I don't think you should be sorry.
Sorry if I offended you personally. That was not the idea.
See, when you emphasize that you've been through some struggles, that may give your thread a certain tonality. For example, that your AMA might be interesting for people finishing college at 15 or high school at 12, because you have some experience to share and help them.
Ok, as this is still an AMA: could you share some of career experiences that you mention? The ones that would offer unique perspectives.
