Comment on Ask HN: Does never having a "real" job hurt meparent

Also, protip:

> I would love to go to work for a company out there that is already making a dent in their market (e.g. Twilio) but I just don't know if I am "qualified" enough to work for some of these companies.

Please do not make such decisions on behalf of any company (or large decision maker, for that matter). Reading your introductions, you're vastly more qualified -in ways most candidates can't even begin to compete- for a number of valuable scenarios.

This is something I see people shooting themselves in the foot a number of times: being presumptuous, making decisions on behalf of others, that puts all parties involved _worse off_. Please don't do that, for your own sake.
