Absolutely, I love teaching in general, but it often requires more preparation than I'm ready to spend the time for so I end up doing it exclusively "on demand" when I see people asking questions here or on the #Friendica GitHub issue tracker or example.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Probably most of what you learned in technical college I learned on my own (because it didn't exist when I was in school); I studied CS in college which was great theory but kept learning advanced algorithms and machine learning on my own.
