If someone asked you how to get their first job in #software as a #developer what would you say? Non-traditional background but very bright, ideally #FOSS work. Any tips you'd give?
I said:
a. build #skills that others don't have, and that the industry wants. #ai #security #industry
b. get to know #people that are passionate about the same things you are. Go to meetups, conferences and talk to people
c. #reputation by giving #talks and build a #github portfolio
d. ask peeps for a job!
