^ These are some of the reasons why I start in this industry. I’m a minority who is self-taught and hates wearing suits/business-wear every day (also, it’s so damn cool go from having an idea to having it built and seeing it in the wild in the span of a few weeks to months).

One of my most popular HN posts [1] is about how the job search sucks so I empathize a lot. However, I have little interest in working for “top” companies.
