Every time the "how did you get into programming" discussion comes up, a large chunk of people on HN report being autodidacts. It's far more widespread in programming than any other kind of profession or speciality. I feel this hasn't been seriously investigated or taken into account.

Not googling how to teach, but skipping the entire "teaching" process altogether.

The post is about teaching CS, not learning it. They are related but different disciplines.
