This question has to deal with being a "paid" programmer, meaning from a paying company, that cuts you a decent check every week. The reason I mention this is because I am honestly not to sure about the financial status of many open source companies, but that is honestly enough about that.
The question is HOW do you know your good enough to code for an actual company, I've asked myself this same question for years, ever since I found out what a variable was (yes this was a while ago). I'm starting to get close to finishing my AS (major is in computer programming), I have a decent GPA that is regularly going up. But I always ask myself, how exactly DO you know when your ready to start getting paid for it?
What should you know, how well should you code, what should your most efficient language be, what APIs should you be familiar with. I've accepted the fact that there is almost no possible way for me to know everything....but how do you know your good enough?
