Scary but then liberating once you get to know what you have to type in to reach your objective.

Yeah, if you're willing to put in that much effort.

I started on this path literally about as soon as I could read thanks to the family having bought a Commodore 64 for my older siblings, but also perfect timing in that when I got to this age the sibling whose room it was in had just gone off to university.

Most people are not like this, in much the same way that they're not going to read the T&C end-to-end (another thing I've done) or learn enough law to actually understand what those words mean (a step too far even for me).

I've had people criticise me for having had the opportunity to learn in that way, as they did not.

No, why would I think that? I don't know them, the only thing I can say is in their favour: moving country to better your situation is difficult and them getting as far as they did is a demonstration of putting in a lot of effort of the exact type I praise by default.
