You do realize it doesn't affect you either way and that it's not worth throwing a fit and going on random tangents about comp numbers, right?

Starting coding in a young age is quite normal nowadays? If you check my H1 account, you can see that I made my first report 3 years ago. Do you now want proof that I am 17? Makes no sense to me.

I’d read PG’s essays (someone compiled them in a pdf on github) and learn about startups. Long term you don’t want to sell your soul to corporations. Continue to learn and try to get some contract work meanwhile. In security this is very common: audits, penetration testing, etc. Good luck!

Start a corporation so that you don't need to sell your soul to corporations?

There is a skit out there about the American dream, something like “where the little guy does well, advances, gets promoted, becomes the boss, and then can stamp on all the little guys”

Sorry I'm late to this (I'm a moderator here) but I hope you won't let the occasional grumpy commenter discourage you from being in the HN community. You're welcome here and the vast majority of us have no problem believing you! The internet is just weird at the long tail.
