I don't have a high school diploma but I'm in college. Voted for "elementary school" :)
I'm in HS, so I had to vote for elementary.
Congrats on starting early, I only wish I was rockin' the startup world in the mid nineties when I was in HS.

#221 million lines of code written and deployed into production. I'll match that against anyone's degrees (including my own).

#23Doctorate is not PhD, MD, or JD. please correct your poll
Doctorate is accurate. While PhD is technically a "research doctorate" and MD and JD are "professional doctorates", all three are types of doctorate degrees.
PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) MD (Doctor of Medicine) JD (Juris Doctor)

#24AEC in web development. AEC stands for "Attestation d'Etudes Collegiales". It's like a College diploma, but only in one field (web development; no philosophy courses or things like that).

It would be useful to have something like: * Still in HS * Still in College * Still in PhD program to help weed those out.
The question is pretty clear, and the 'high school' result should show those that are currently IN college/university.
The point is that it doesn't differentiate between people who simply never finished/went to college, like me, from people who are still in college, which is an interesting data point.

1 million lines of code written and deployed into production. Just curious. Any favorite ones that we can see? (Applications/Source Code)
Not without my customers' permission.
But now that you mentioned it, I'll work on putting up some of my favorites that I own. Stay tuned...

#27Tough one. I'm a high school dropout, so I had to check Elementary School. Now, I've taught at colleges (electronics and linear mathematics), but I've never actually attended one as a student. Some lives are weirder than others, I guess.

there's little that college gives you as a developer I hear this fallacy a lot. A lot of people seem to give it a pass and nod along with it, maybe because it makes them feel better or maybe because it seems like the politically correct thing to say in a room full of talented hackers, only some of whom went to college. While you in no way need to go to college to be a developer, I think people should be highly skepti…
And you oh-so-effectively refute it.
Is that supposed to be an argument?
Or is your argument that all people who go to college are "rich and naive kids" as you implied earlier in the thread?
You're exposing a pretty huge chip on your shoulder.

#29Other: Homeschooled kindergarten through the end of highschool when I started doing freelance web development. Two years after I began freelancing I got my current job as a software developer for a small startup.

Assigned too many times to maintainance projects, I think I've deleted as many lines as I've written.
