Comment on: Can you get a job as a self-taught programmer?

Show up at your local co-working place. Find your local tech community. Rent a desk for $100 / month and start working there as much as you can.

I would never hire anyone who even stepped foot in such a place. You owe your client a duty of confidentiality. Showing their trade secrets on a screen in a public space is illegal and marks you as a traitor.

Oh? Everybody is doing it? So what. If you want to work for a mom and pop shop, fine. Turn traitor to your clients. But if you want a real job, secrecy or GTFO.

Agreed. Job descriptions are just fantasy wish lists.

Google has said they only look at university grades and degrees for the first few years after graduating. After that it is what work did you. What did companies pay you for.

Hugging nice!
