- team work, unless somebody learned this skill in other way

- SCRUM - it would be hard to teach oneself SCRUM without job environment

- jargon (I didn't know what "pull request" or "ticket" ment before I went to the first job)

- courage, self-assurance (because of lack positive feedback from other programmers - people who learn programming on jobs are in better situation than self learners)

- realism, cynicism (Self taught programmers are sometimes too optimistic or too pessimistic and dont have sense of reality).
