Comment Look for companies run by other old autodidacts (Score 1) 472
People hire based on familiarity. Young CS grads from Stanford think only young CS grads from top-flight universities know how to design software. Start-up jockeys who dropped out of college think only drop outs with start-up experience know how to design software. I'm also an old(er) auotdidact. I like older, experienced people who have demonstrated passion for their craft by teaching themselves.
