I'm trying to do the same. But after spending the last few months building my own product, I feel like I'm not ready yet. The mistake I made in my career so far was not knowing enough about one industry, it's very difficult t

Are you sure about WebAssembly? I thought it's a new byte code standard and a completely new runtime on its own.

I disagree, whether a young developer have projects to show before college is near irrelevant to if they'll become a better developer as a professional. It doesn't automatically translate to self motivated, the only thing it shows

No doubt Joel Spolsky is a great software engineer. But sometimes when reading articles like the 'great developers', I feel like he's standing on the high ground and look down on us mere mortals. Sure it's near impossib

I don't know why it's so important to see a junior developer's work before college. A junior is supposed to have near 0 experience, it's more important that they can demonstrate problem solving skills and willingness to

In theory you are right, but in reality, when you are faced with multiple choices of startup ideas, shouldn't this be a major factor on deciding which one to act on?
