Ask HN: How Much Experience Required Before I Become Self Employed?
I have a dream. I want to work from home and eventually form a partnership with other programmers and have sort of a virtual office where we work on a (one or more) software products, all of us from home.
My question is, how much experience with a 'real' programming job would you expect/want me to have before taking me seriously? At the moment I only have 2 years professional experience, one of those years at one of the biggest tech consultancies in the world (for what it's worth).
- noodle 17y agoi would take you seriously after two things happen: 1) you take yourself seriously, and 2) you can show me examples and proof that you should be taken seriously (i.e., past work, competent answers to questions, etc.) thats about it.
