There's a lot of hate out there towards self-taught developers from those who hold CS degrees. In fact, I'll show you a comment in this video calling for the eradication of all self-taught engineers!!!

But don't sweat. There are too many of us out there for that.

Yet we need to ensure we are growing so that we prove valuable teammates, dependable programmers, and competent "engineers."

In this video, I'll explain what I think are 5 tell-tale signs of an inexperienced, non-traditional, developer and what steps you need to take to grow out of it.
