almost everything I do at work, I learned online, not from an in-person teacher

Did you learn to learn online, too, or did you get an education with in-person teachers?

where's the dichotomy? I had an education but it's debatable how much learning happened.

the bulk of everything I know how to do is self-taught.

Sure, it is debatable. But honestly it's hard for me to imagine giving an iPad to a 6 years old and tell them to "learn on their own".
