[futureproofd]

I've also been a developer for almost 10 years without any Computer Science training (aside from my college diploma). I've also felt the same way about not needing any further formal education up until a certain point.

That point is now, and it's partially out of boredom. I've worked with many languages, frameworks, libraries, patterns, and they're all starting to look the same. I've become a master of tools, able to reach for the right tool given a specific scenario, but I'm starting to find I'm lacking a sense of curiosity and depth.

Maybe without a strong foundational knowledge, we'll only ever be users of the tools, and never creators. I feel like I need to start giving back at some point in my career. Maybe it's time to start working on foundations.
