Jesus fucking christ I hate people like you. I have met so many of you shitheads in my industry, or what's left of it, that I have almost no hope of things getting better. This is also some of the FUCKING DUMBEST advice I have ever read.
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.
This is what absolute fucking morons and hipsters do. Paying to go rent a desk just to "socialize" with other morons. Do NOT do this, nobody who runs any kind of successful business will be hanging out at this place. period. Hell anyone who is a successful programmer will not be sitting there on their own dime working remotely. This is the tech version of writers sitting at coffee shops.
Node JS is very useful. But, never be about the language / tool.
There is a valid reason why C devs make more then fucking server-side-js aka nodejs devs. If you just want a "job" and nothing but a job then fine but language is important. To pretend otherwise is a boldface lie.
1000 hrs of free dev work on some open source project is still far cheaper - and more valuable - than a university degree...
This new trend must be the fucking dumbest thing to ever happen. 1000hrs on some random github > 5 year university degree. Shut your fucking stupid mouth. Yes there are very talented coders who never went to university but the exception does not make the rule. It's funny if this was engineering/medicine it would be inconceivable to hire some "self-trained" employee but programming with it's painfully low bar of entry lets everyone who is a "javascript engineer" and "html programmer" bleat about how gifted they are.
This is some stupid stupid stupid advice but the kind you read from shitholes like hackernews, a reddit-tier feel good circle jerk.
