It's something school has changed for me, it has changed the ways I write code now.

Self taught coders usually (not always offcourse) don't code in a corporate way, industry standard, however you want to call it. I myself can usually see the difference when a professional educated programmer writes something, and a self-taught programmer (who can be better and more experienced than the other, I agree) writes the same thing. It's just different.
