There has never been a better time and a better way to succeed than building software today. It doesn't matter who you are, where you're at, what you're like, what you have, or who you're with. 95% of the battle is what you can do. So go do it.
Its 95% about who you know. You can be the best coder in the world but if you can't get your foot in the right door you will just be coding away in obscurity. Why is it that 90% of startups seem to be the valley?
- jcadam 11y agoHeh, I've often mused that the "best coder in the world" really is coding away in obscurity in the middle of some cube farm somewhere (no doubt making somebody else very rich), and we will never know who he/she is.
- talmand 11y agoI'm willing to bet the objectively top ten best coders in the world are people that 99.9% of the world has never heard of and will never know who they are/were.
