Ask HN: What skill set qualifies an entry level developer?

Honestly even if you're only about 10-20% in some of those categories you mentioned, and maybe 20-30% on your basic programming skills (data-types, algo's, design patterns) you're probably at the right level to start looking for entry-level positions. I've seen 4-year degree-holders who are less proficient at how everything ties together across a basic web stack.

Just take risks and go for it. Have some decent code examples ready for your interview, be confident in yourself and go for it!

Thanks for the encouragement. Thanks for also giving me a heads up on the skill set.

I have been told I will end up with an approximate 20 - 35% understanding of the languages as they relate to building web apps. In the end hopefully it works out, only 5.5 more months till I know :D
