   I've changed the tone, thank you. I don't think simple ideas are any less innovative though, for what it's worth!

   While I generally don't like lists describing how people "should behave" to be more appropriate, because being social is such a nuanced thing and people are widely different, I disagree with you that this perpetuates any auti

   Thank you, I have some projects in my Github page and have my own website up and running. I do need to work on adding more projects though, thank you.

   I think you're right, a network is a piece of magic that shouldn't be underestimated when it comes to pretty much anything. I'm currently studying AI Business so I do have access to some great people but few are programmers.

   Thank you, I'm working on building out my Github now.

   I'm more interested in a start-up or a smaller company, I think. But without experience I don't really know what will suit me best.

   There is a very well-considered coding bootcamp near me that I've heard sometimes leads to jobs, but that could be the marketing speaking. I'm considering it after finishing my current studies. I think what I would bring to the ta

   Thank you, hearing from others like yourself gives me a lot of optimism.

    I'm sorry it didn't work out. Maybe you can combine the two somehow and fulfil your dream. I'll look for some gigs today.

    Now here's an out-of-the-box idea, haha. Thanks!

    Thanks for the reality check. I definitely find myself staring at the entry requirements and thinking that every job application would require me to study 5 years to fit their needs perfectly, it's not a realistic goal. I will apply an

    Wow, a meteoric rise. I've rarely heard of people flourishing within a company so easily. Thanks for sharing your background and advice! What platforms would you look at for finding jobs?

    Thanks! I do think you're right that someone will need to consider me worth taking a chance on, at least for the first job. Hearing your story is a great encouragement that it's possible.

    Oh, I've done that too! I did some work for a hotel and sped up their marketing and IT stuff quite a bit with automation. I didn't end up being paid extra for that, but I enjoyed it. Would you put it on your CV?

    I have not considered it, no. Thank you, it was not on my radar but now it is.

    Haha I spent a few minutes trying to figure out if this was a round-about way of offering a job without triggering some HN rule about self-promotion or something... Thank you for the encouragement, your business sounds cool. I like the cons

    I have done some website dev freelancing in the past, I will add it to my CV. Thanks!

    Thank you. That's hopeful.

    That's a great perspective. I enjoy the idea that people can come in from the sidelines and change things because of their novel way of seeing things.

    Thank you for your offer and the great advice, I will be more proactive on Linkedin!

    I agree that the coding challenges are quite different from real world application of code, they always catch me a bit off guard as the type of problem to be solved is so far from what I've solved before. It's fun though, and I en

    Thank you, a very insightful comment. I've recently started adding to my Github, I will keep it up and be honest about my level of skill. I find it hard to know where my level is though, as I don't have much to compare it to other

    I don't mind spending some time proving myself, if it sets me up for a better career in the long term. Yes, I will make more products!

    Thank you for taking the time to give such direct feedback. I think I missed you by a few minutes, I just switched the link in my profile to my Github. It's pretty bare atm because I only just started adding my projects on there. My in
