I think a good path to dev education is if you are interested in it as a teen and try out coding and keep failing. Persistence and interest will bring you farther than just going straight to uni/dev school.

Curiosity and a good mix of failing with the occasional success is the best way to learn I've found.

I agree with the author. Getting into programming as a teenager is important because learning is more manageable when one is naturally interested. But not everyone has the chance to study on their own. Sometimes, you need help with homework or projects, especially starting out. I, for example, occasionally use services like https://ca.edubirdie.com/do-my-home... to lighten the load and focus on what I truly enjoy. I like the idea of mastering a profession in adolescence because it allows you to achieve your goals earlier.
