    I am diving back into learning programming, self taught for now but I really enjoy it.

    I have been stuck in a rut for a while and would one day like to see it become part of my career. Python has been recommended as a good starting point but curious of your opinions on the matter.

    Is it reasonable to believe that being self taught will be accepted in the workforce with a competent portfolio or does a degree really open the door?
