I'm in high school and just started a front-end development internship. I got it by simy giving a specific piece of feedback through an HN post, and then I got contacted from there about my work. I'd suggest using mediums where your technical prowess is more obvious than your age or formal experience, such as HN. That way, the company, if interested, will initiate contact, find out about your skillset, and then after all of that if you mention your age, all the technical details will make them ignore it in favor of their impression of you before age came into the picture.
- yzzxy 13y agoThis is good advice, I will try to be proactive in my commentating on places like HN where I would traditionally lurk. Unfortunately this is a bit of a moonshot! Perhaps I should attempt to seek out places where my skills can be applied to problems and discussions. I'm surprised there hasn't been a prominent website or platform for intellectual / Socratic argument since the waning of discussion groups.
