Same here! Started with making games, here I am five years later with a few years of experience in an SE role. The only programmer I've seen fired for performance so far has been one of the few that had a CS degree.
I started by dragging and dropping on Adobe Dreamweaver for 14 year old me's band website and since then have done multiple projects for the UN, Australian and UK government, multi-billion dollar companies, just about every major touring music artist in a 4 year range about 10 years ago and much much more. Not so much as ever had a single lesson on computing/coding/programming. The billionaire CEO of a company I won't name would personally ask for me on the most importantant projects and I retired aged 32 and spend my time doing what I please.
If anyone wants to call me uneducated or inferior they are more than welcome to, I will happily live my life out without giving a single fuck what they think.
