Question

Is it possible to become a good programmer without formal education?

Answer 1

If you are capable person, or even genius, yes😬
There are many prerequisites, but honestly your question is not trivial.
For example, in my eyes, Linus is not so good programmer, but from your point of view he is good😂😂😂 and so on...

Answer 3

Here is the cite where you can find freelance job and nobody ask you of your education, but ask you of your real knowledge and ask you to do the real job if you can do this. Try it by yourself. https://www.upwork.com/mobile/jobs/category/web-mobile-software-dev/subcategory/web-development
