(Optional: Where do I ask:) Who's hiring Jr. Devs? Because as far as being passionate to learn (and knowing some of the basics of .NET flavored development), I'd like to grow my skillset beyond that of IT Generalist.

As someone who doesn't have much of a resume, but has a lot of knowledge and passion, I have no idea where to present myself. Every "job listing" I find for programming asks for a 4 year degree and years experience. Since I don't have either (on paper), I have no idea where to show myself. Who is hiring Jr. Devs? Where?

  There are a handful of postings for junior devs on this month's "Who is hiring" thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15384262 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15384262

  I don't think that the traditional "find a job post - click apply - send resume off into the void - wait" model will work very well for you. So instead, I would focus on researching companies and then reaching out directly to founders/very senior engineers. If you work hard to demonstrate passion for both their product and learning how to help build it, you will get some opportunities.

  Contribute to open source projects by fixing bugs and writing features, it shows you can navigate a large codebase and you learn a lot from working on software people use instead of toy/academic projects. That's how I got hired without formal requirements.
