A friend's friend recommended me to his company, without meeting me or seeing any of my code. That's nuts. They were incredibly generous, and I made sure that they wouldn't regret it. That gave me a HTML + CSS job, which allowed me to care for my mother and learn JS on the payroll. Now a few jobs later, I'm a JS developer, looking after a small team.
I'm grateful for my ex-colleague for risking his reputation to get someone new into the industry. I try to do the same for others, but so far they haven't stuck.
